Join us for a fun evening of sewing and crafting leather journals at Alibi Bar & Place! Local artisan Amanda Parramoure of My Leather Legacy has been binding books for more than a decade, and she began teaching journal workshops in 2016 to share her love of bookmaking with the community. In this Craft Lake City workshop, Parramoure will teach attendees how to fold, punch, and long stitch acid-free paper into pre-punched genuine leather covers. Participants will choose between blank, lined or bullet journal paper, and will carefully tear the edges of all 192 pages for a deckled-style edge. Parramoure maintains an uncompromising commitment to quality in her workshop materials, and she will provide a variety of leather colors to help attendees customize their reusable and refillable 4.5”x7" journals.

Attendees at Alibi Bar & Place workshops must be 21 years or older, and will have the opportunity to purchase specialty cocktails to sip while crafting.
