Give yourself the gift of getting organized—by hand! In this hands-on workshop, you'll create a beautiful, modular, customizable traveler's-style notebook with a handcrafted leather cover and two removable notebook inserts. Choose from an assortment of leathers and paper styles—including dot grid, lined, and blank pages—to create an organizer that suits the way you think, plan, and create.

 

Use your notebook to keep track of appointments, lists, notes, and reminders, or take it along on your adventures for urban sketching, capturing ideas, and recording the details of everyday life. With a flexible design that can grow and change with you, your notebook becomes a personal place for all those things worth keeping together.

 

We'll also explore simple analog planning techniques, including the Ivy Lee method, for prioritizing tasks and bringing a little more order to busy days.  No apps, no batteries, no notifications—just leather, pen, paper, and a place for everything. You'll leave with a useful, one-of-a-kind creation made by you, ready to accompany you through everyday routines, creative adventures, and wherever life takes you. This workshop will be held off site just a few blocks from ArtWorks. No prior leather working experience is necessary. $65 includes your leather notebook and two removeable inserts in A5 size. Additional notebook inserts are easy to source.
