I just wanted to pass on a recommendation for the Kalamazoo Book Arts Center. On Wednesday evening, they came in with materials for 12 patrons and taught them how to bind their own journals, then create a stamp to decorate it with. It was engaging for everyone and a fun event. They have a few different workshops that they take on the road, so be sure to look them up at www.kalbookarts.org! :) -- *Adrianne M.
