My Leather Legacy Hand-Bound Leather Journals Workshop with Amanda Parramoure
SLUG: Have you taught a workshop before? If so, tell us about your previous workshops!
Parramoure: I’ve been teaching bookbinding for almost five years now. I moved leather into my workshops quickly because of how classy and luxurious it is. I’m also branching out to teach the visually stunning “caterpillar binding” this year and am so excited.
SLUG: What project will you be teaching at the
DIY Festival this year?
Parramoure: This will be our longstitch binding “artisan journal.” We interweave some gorgeous papers that will personalize the book to the maker and then stitch them into our leather covers. Attendees will be equipped to make more journals in their choice of materials going forward or refill the cover from this book in the future.
