Long Stitch Books!

Join us this Friday for the next installment of our bookbinding series. Take one or more of our ongoing bookbinding series and create a model collection of book structures. This is a versatile book structure that lends itself to books designed and printed on standard-sized papers. Writers, artists and book binders can modify this structure to meet their needs. The long stitch book structure dates from the 14th century. These books provide a non-adhesive, mechanical tight back that has a full and easy opening despite a rigid spine. We purchased this beautiful French paper from our favorite local paper merchant, Paper Arts. The paper looks like a 1950's kitchen floor. Sweet! Click here to register.

Clay and Crepes!

Join us every Saturday from 10am to noon for open clay studio. This sweet baby left his footprint and other neighbors made leaf bowls. Studio fee $10 plus $5/lb of clay. Jean and Pierrette will be serving French crepes in our side yard. YUM!!!

Birthdays, weddings, meetings and more...

Our historic building is available for fiestas and gatherings of all kinds. Contact us if you would like to throw a birthday party, host a shower, or just get together. We organize creative retreats for professionals, birthdays for kiddos, and fundraisers for community organizations. Deanne's gal pals had a wedding decorating party in our digs last night. We made hundreds of paper flowers for her big day this Sunday. Congratulations to the lovebirds!!!
