Rock wrapping has its origins in the Japanese art of mizuhiki, but has been adopted by many cultures around the world. It is especially popular where smooth rocks are collected near rivers and lakes, making it a perfect art form for Minnesota! Students will use rocks from the shores of Lake Superior and a variety of cords to wrap and tie beautiful patterns. Each student will make 3 or more wrapped rocks to take home.

Vintage Book Journals
Date: Tuesday, November 17, 2026
Time: 130P-400P
Cost: $45 (materials included)
Instructor: Megan Larson

Learn to make your own custom journal for drawing, note taking, painting or anything else you need a blank book for. This would be a great Christmas present idea as well!

We will give new life to vintage hardcover books that were headed to the recycling bin by removing the covers and filling them with fresh paper.  We will then bind the pages to the covers using a Coptic stitch. The resulting journal will lie flat when opened and can be made with paper of your choice to suit your journaling needs. 

All materials are provided, but if you have a hardcover book that measures roughly 5x8 inches that you would like to use, feel free to bring it.
