“Binding and Building Your Sketchbook Practice” is an invitation to reimagine your sketchbook as a space of freedom, experimentation, and creative discovery. In this dynamic, hands-on workshop, you’ll craft your own one-of-a-kind sketchbook using both traditional and unexpected materials—then fill it with life through playful rituals, inventive exercises, and techniques designed to spark spontaneity. Explore tools that travel easily and dry quickly, making it effortless to create wherever inspiration strikes. Leave not only with a beautifully bound, deeply personal sketchbook, but with a revitalized creative practice that feels alive, flexible, and truly your own.

This class is located in the classroom.
