This one features \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003ea journal that, at only 5x6 inches, is smaller and a comfortable size.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e For fun, it has a cover made from leather in a bright, eye-catching color – RED!  The journal is bound with the basic Italian long stitch, which is a hand binding that was popular in the 1300s. Each signature of pages is attached directly to the cover by sewing through the leather. The result is a decorative stitch pattern on the spine. It’s straightforward to learn and is a strong binding that travels well. Perhaps more importantly, the pages lay flat when the book is open, making writing and sketching easy. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eJoin Jeff and create your own little red journal: tear down large sheets of paper for the pages, assemble the pages into signatures, and then sew the signatures through the leather cover.

Two Hands Paperie will retain a $10 processing fee for EACH class cancelled by a participant. After 14 days, there is no refund or credit. In addition, the fee for a class cancelled within this 14-day timeframe by a participant cannot be transferred to pay for another class. These policies are to ensure that teachers are compensated for their investment in materials and in time spent preparing for the class. We reserve the right to cancel a class if fewer than 3 students enroll 48 hours prior to the scheduled class time. If for any reason Two Hands Paperie cancels a class, students will be called at the phone number on file and refunded the FULL class fee.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eInstructor Bio\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eJeff Becker\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eexperimented with different media for years before discovering the book. He was immediately drawn to the possibilities of the form: how binding serves as an introduction to the content; the effect of structure on movement; the delightful anticipation one experiences when turning a page; the subsequent surprise or resolution; and how all the senses are involved when one handles a book. Jeff has been making journals ever since, and currently teaches workshops for Two Hands Paperie, The Book Arts League, the pARTiculars gallery in Lafayette, and the Lafayette Library. His education includes classes at the American Academy of Bookbinding, workshops with local and nationally known binders, and trial and error.
