This beautiful all-metal journal is sure to become an heirloom, especially when filled with your original artwork, photos and/or writing.
In this class, students will create a small (4" x 6" x 1") metal journal with a unique "no-sew" binding.
A sepia toned, vintage photo on transparency behind baroque-swirled, stained glass resembles an old tintype photo is attached to the cover with a brass frame.
The cover and spine of this book is completely fabricated "from scratch" by the students. Add some chain and a few beads and charms, or bring your own personalized transparency (2" x 3") to make this book uniquely your own.
Techniques taught include cutting, torching, and alteration of metal with chemical patinas, my original binding which, once mastered, can be adapted to make books in many different sizes and using other materials.
A $20 kit/supply fee will include: detailed instruction book, copper & brass sheet metal, copper plumber's tape, copper wire, baroque stained glass, printed transparency, hardware, chain, beads, bead-pins, jump-rings, patina, and clear coat.
*If you have dietary restrictions, you are welcome to bring your lunch. There is a refrigerator and microwave on the premises.
