Bookbinding: Basics & Beyond
Ready to take your zines beyond the staple? Would you like to learn how to create blank journals or other small books? We will cover a variety of useful bookbinding techniques, including single-sheet folded books, single & double signature pamphlet stitch, stab binding, and more. Something for all skill levels! Materials included.
-Aaron Cohick & Rick Kitagawa

Nature Walk
Join us for a (semi) early morning nature walk in the Arboritum, right next door to the SF County Fair Building! We'll check out our diverse local bird population, walk amongst California Redwoods, and spend some time sketching and writing about what we see and hear. Inspiring for anyone who wants to create work about the natural world, or anyone who wants to enjoy a leisurely stroll in a beautiful outdoor environment.
B.Y.O.B. (Bring Your Own Binoculars)!
Meets outside of the County Fair Building.
-Jeanne Marie Acceturo & François Vigneault
