Since you asked:

"Therefore, to be possess'd with double pomp, to guard a title that was rich before, to gild refined gold, to paint the lily,
to throw a perfume on the violet, to smooth the ice, or add another hue unto the rainbow, or with taper-light
to seek the beauteous eye of heaven to garnish, is wasteful and ridiculous excess."

~William Shakespeare,
ca. 1595

Yup, that's us.

New Class with Leslie Marsh!

Stamped Nature Bound Journal

Leslie Marsh, Instructor
Saturday & Sunday, February 6 & 7, 2016
Class Fee: $275.00

We're happy to welcome book artist Leslie Marsh back to Gilding the Lily as our first teacher of the new year. Over this two-day workshop, Leslie will show participants how to how to solder, stamp and embellish book covers, and how to bind them into a treasured book using Coptic binding - a technique that has been used since the second century. At the same time, she will show students how to to coax beautiful prints onto paper for their pages using leaves, heat and water. While we will be dyeing paper during the workshop, Leslie will talk about how the same process can be applied to dyeing fabric. The skills (and handouts) students leave this technique-filled workshop with will arm them to make books of all sizes.
Kits will include everything necessary to complete a 6- by 4-inch book similar as shown. Participants will have the option of emailing their own photos to be used in their covers to Leslie for sizing and printing before the workshop.
