I will return to UCLA Extension to teach Handmade Book Structures on Tuesday evenings for the Winter Quarter (January 10 to March 27, 2012). I would love for you to join me!

This class is loaded with demonstrations and hands-on projects. You will learn the basic techniques of book binding, including how to create stab, pamphlet, and multi-section bindings. You will also explore conceptual book structures and contemporary applications of book binding. The class is open to anyone interested (it is not required to be a certificate seeking student).

If you have any questions at all about the course, feel free to email me at studio@erinzam.com.

In conjunction with the Creative Gift Wrapping Workshop that I’m presenting this week, I’d like to share a few ideas with you! Over the next several days I will post each of these Holiday wrap ideas with links and details for how to create them yourself.

The holidays are upon us! I will lead a free workshop next Tuesday evening on the topic of creative gift wrapping. If you are in the Santa Monica area, you are welcome to join me at the Fairview Branch Library. I will share some of my favorite tips and techniques and we will create a project using recycled materials. All tools and materials are provided.
