Book Workshop # 1

This workshop is fascinating! The process of making these books involves so much focus, patience, and persistence. One wrong move, and you may have to start from scratch. This week in Carl's workshop, we worked on cutting the pages and sewing them together. When Carl was demonstrating, the process of ripping the brown paper seemed so simple. However, this ended up being extremely difficult. We had to rely on the ruler to make a clean cut down the middle of our brown sheets. I'm proud of the way my pages turned out and I'm sure next week's project is going to involve even more focus.

Carl's a really nice guy and seems to be really confident with his book making skill. He told us a story of how he had to do what we were doing almost every day in his old job. Carl's directions were very clear and easy to follow. I can't wait to see the finished product!
