Craft a leather notebook with a 500-year-old Japanese bookbinding technique
Tucked inside a cute, hidden art space (that’s also pet-friendly!), you’ll spend 3 unhurried hours creating your own leather-bound notebook using a 500-year-old Japanese bookbinding technique. Choose your leather, stitch it by hand, stamp your initials (or something more personal), and add your own touches — from minimal to playful.
You’ll leave with a one-of-a-kind A5 notebook you’ll actually use — as a journal, sketchpad, or somewhere to keep the things you don’t want to forget.
