Handmade Sketchbooks

  • Museum of Art & Design 2 Columbus Circle New York United States (map)

Discover the art of bookbinding while creating your own handcrafted sketchbook inspired by the botanical beauty of Alice Riehl's Porcelain Florilegium. In this hands-on workshop, you'll learn the fundamentals of the long-stitch binding technique to construct a unique 4 × 6-inch sketchbook featuring a wraparound paper cover.

Customize your book with decorative papers, botanical-inspired details, and your own creative touches, transforming it into a one-of-a-kind sketchbook, journal, or keepsake. Led by book artist and educator Hayley Ferber, this beginner-friendly workshop offers a welcoming introduction to bookbinding while celebrating craftsmanship, creativity, and the enduring relationship between art, nature, and the handmade.
