Join STITCH AND DESTROY for a fun crafty evening of creating your own hand-stitched book. Corey and Haven will guide you step by step in creating multiple hand-stitched books, in different techniques!This is a hand sewing workshop and great for all levels. All materials will be pre-cut and prepared- but you'll still be able to choose your thread color and the fabric for your book covers.The key difference between this workshop and <a href="https://www.eventbrite.com/e/advanced-bookbinding-tickets-2002723620260?" title="https://www.eventbrite.com/e/advanced-bookbinding-tickets-2002723620260?" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Advanced Bookbinding</a>, is that in Advanced the materials are not pre-cut or prepared for you- and you make only one book for the whole class.Space is limited in our studio- we are able to accommodate 8 attendees.
