Student Longstitch Books at Asheville BookworksMarjorie's Hands Hard at Work

Blank books are great tools for visual and verbal expression and we are all more likely to write, draw or be in a book we make with our own hands. I teach various book structure and creative journaling workshops and am devoted to providing a supportive and fun space for creative development at any level. Besides, its just plain ole’ fun!

The following list also includes upcoming events, shows and publications.
