BYOB & Bind

​$75.00 | 6PM-8PM | All materials included | BYOBeverage

​Get creative during your happy hour and make a special hardcover notebook wrapped with locally-designed fabric such as Androsia or Bahama Handprints!

​You'll first choose your notebook covering material out of a range of locally-made and designed patterns, from bold Bahama Handprints to charming Androsia to dynamic and playful designs by Bahamian designer Can Did Art. 

​Then you'll be guided on how to assemble the case (outside hardcover) and bind your pages with a simple pamphlet stitch before bringing these components together into a final unique notebook for your use. Notebook measures 5" x 7" and has about forty lined pages.

​All materials included! Bring you own bottle of wine or other special beverage of choice to unwind. 

​No prior experience is necessary. Sonia will prepare packets of material ready for you to assemble and use her teaching experiences accumulated for over a decade to make accessible the materials, tools, and techniques you'll use to bring everything together into one beautiful handmade piece to take home.

​This workshop costs $75.00 per person and includes all materials. When you register here, you’ll receive an email with payment instructions. Direct deposit, card payment, PayPal, or Zelle all accepted, as well as cash paid ahead of the workshop date at our location (open to the public Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays).
