Craft Lake City Workshop: Travel Notebook Binding

: Travel Notebook Binding

Join us for an evening of creativity at our Travel Notebook Binding Workshop, taught by local artist Shelby Pence of Shelby ARTifacts at the PBS Utah News Studio!

In this hands-on workshop, Shelby will guide you through the process of transforming a repurposed book cover into a customizable, refillable travel journal—perfect for travelers documenting your adventures, sketching on the go or preserving keepsakes.

You’ll learn techniques for securing pages while creating a flexible design that allows you to easily insert and remove pages. Plus, you’ll tailor the contents of your journal to your needs, choosing from lined paper for writing, watercolor paper for painting or envelope-style pages for storing mementos.

Inspired by the PBS program Rick Steves' Europe and his belief that travel opens the door to learning and experiencing new cultures, this journal will help you showcase your own personal travel stories in a meaningful and creative way.

Come create your ideal travel companion! You’ll leave with your finished journal and the skills to continue this craft on all your future adventures.

All supplies provided, no experience necessary.
