LOCATION: Amakakeru Art Studio in my home in Greenville, SC (near Sara Collins Elementary School - exact address to be provided after booking)

Watoji is a traditional Japanese bookbinding style in which pages are hand-bound with thread. Since the late 1100s, Watoji-style books have been used for many purposes, including diaries, albums, sketchbooks, notebooks, textbooks, account books, and religious scriptures.

In this workshop, we’ll create several classic Japanese bound books and explore creative ways to expand beyond traditional forms, transforming books into unique works of art.

This is a fun, creative, and introspective experience. No previous bookbinding or artistic experience is necessary. Participants must be 15 years of age or older.

You’re welcome to bring your favorite papers, wrapping paper, old books, photographs, postcards, letters, or other treasured materials that have been tucked away in your cabinets for years. We’ll give these precious or forgotten pieces new life by transforming them into a unique keepsake.

Most importantly, bring your playful and expressive spirit. Together, we’ll create books that bring your memories, imagination, and creativity to life.
