Craft a Handbound Leather Journal with Fish Leather Accent

In this class, participants will create a leather journal with fish leather accents. Students will be able to choose from several types of fish leather on their cover, including walleye, lake trout, perch and salmon.

Students will select their leather cover with fish leather attached, pick a thread color and learn how to hand-stitch six folded parchment signatures into a journal. The instructor will walk students through punching holes, stitching and adding the final touches to their journals, including a kangaroo lace closure and a leather dressing to protect your cover.

If time allows, there will be a demonstration of the sewing skills needed to attach the fish leather to the cover.
