2 hours Location Carroll Gardens Class size 10 to 30 guests   $50

Walk in with curiosity and walk out with a handmade notebook you bound yourself in this welcoming, hands-on notebook binding class in New York City! In just 90 minutes, you’re fully guided step by step through the book making process, learning exactly how to bind a book from start to finish. This beginner-friendly book binding class is designed to feel approachable and doable, even if you’ve never tried craft classes before. You won’t need to bring a thing or stress about supplies.
Every material is provided for you: paper, thread, needles, awls, cutting tools, and thoughtfully selected covers. All you have to do is show up ready to make something with your hands. As you learn how to make a notebook, you’ll gain practical skills you can use again at home, so this isn’t just a one-time project. You leave with both a finished handmade notebook and the knowledge to keep creating on your own.
Even better, all covers are made from upcycled materials, giving your book character and a second life to something old. Whether you’re looking for creative date ideas, unique things to do in NYC, or simply want to learn how to bind a book in a relaxed, supportive setting, this class makes the process feel inspiring and completely within reach!
