First, it's practical and versatile. Second, the small details give it a professional look. Third, it also includes a number of transferable techniques to add to your paper and book skills.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis particular version of the book has pages of watercolor paper, making it a more economical option for art than buying commercial journals. Kristen’s book is designed so it’s easy to take anywhere – hence the name Totebook. The hard cover protects it when it’s thrown into a jumbled bag, the soft spine is both flexible and sturdy, and an easy chain stitch binding holds up well to use. (Did we mention that the structure is versatile?) You can easily change the Totebook’s purpose by substituting other paper, such as text weight, sketch, lined, grid, etc., when making more Totebooks at home.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThere are three useful and readily transferable techniques included in the class: an elastic band that keeps the book closed, rounded corners that keep it from looking dog-eared, and envelope paste downs that are both useful and fun.

She’s made all kinds of books since - founding Papercuts Press in 2005. She later pursued artifact conservation, a second love, and earned a degree in Museum Studies. Kristen mixes her time between sculpture, bookmaking, teaching, and caring for museum collections. She has taught bookbinding classes since 2007 and brings a gentle, engaging, and informative approach to guiding class projects.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e\"My work is largely driven by materials and process.
