Come learn a new craft every month at Crafty Adults!

Want to learn how to make your own journal by hand? Library staff member Rachel Ferrier will teach us how to make a simple cover using a file folder and scrapbook paper; you'll then learn how to sew in pages to create a fun (and useful) blank journal. No sewing experience needed!

About the presenter: Rachel Ferrier has been hand-making books for more than 10 years now; she also does watercolor and acrylic painting, drawing, crochet, and numerous other creative projects.
