Bessie's Workbasket

MPHS Volunteers Martha Nelson and Nancy Corry teach crafts from around the world!  Join us at 7pm, the second Wednesday of each Month at Central School - 103 S Maple St., Mount Prospect, IL.  No experience necessary; beginners welcome and encouraged!

Join us for a relaxing, hands-on session of Bessie’s Workbasket as we create beautiful handmade journals from simple materials. You’ll learn basic bookbinding techniques, discover creative ways to personalize your cover, and leave with a one-of-a-kind journal that reflects your own style. Perfect for recording thoughts, memories, or creative ideas—no experience needed, just your imagination!
