Mindful Making: Mini-Notebooks
September 25 - 6:30-8:30 pm
Embrace the changing season by creating your own charming mini-notebook with a letterpress printed paper cover and quality interior blank paper. Round the corners and foil press your name or a guiding word on the cover to personalize it.
As leaves begin to turn and the air grows crisp slow down and (re)connect with the tactile joy of making. Your small notebook is a perfect companion for autumn intentions sketches or daily reflections—a sustainable treasure made mindfully by your own hands.
Mindful Making events invite you to slow down express and connect. The mood is casual and creative. You'll take away your own creation and leave refreshed and renewed!
Level: Beginner. No experience necessary.
