Book Style
Pick your project — or let me suggest one.
Not sure what to make? I'm happy to recommend something that fits your vibe, your timeline, and your guests. Or if you have something specific in mind, let's talk about it.
Hand-Sewn Journal
Guests sew and bind their own journal from scratch. A satisfying, beginner-friendly project that's impressive to make and even better to keep.
Paperback Rebind
You or I pick the book, guests give it a brand new handmade cover. Everything is provided — no need to bring anything.
Branded
Want the books to feature your logo, colors, or a custom design? We can make that work. A great way to send guests home with something that feels like yours.

Pricing
Flexible to fit your structure.
Every venue partnership is a little different, so I offer a few ways to structure pricing. We'll figure out what makes the most sense for your space and your goals when we connect.
What affects the price? The base rate covers a standard 3-hour class with a cloth-cover or journal project. Add-ons like branded/custom books or inclusions like a drink per person will affect the final per-person rate. I'll always give you a clear quote before anything is confirmed.
Not sure what you need? Reach out and we'll figure it out together. No surprises.
Per-Person Ticket Split
Participants pay a per-person registration fee. We agree on a split — you keep a percentage, I keep the rest. Great for ticketed public events where you want a share of the revenue.
Flat Venue Fee
You charge a flat hosting fee, I handle all ticket sales and keep the registration revenue. Simple and predictable for you — no variables, just a set amount for the space.
Free Venue, Shared Promo
You host at no charge in exchange for co-promotion. Works well when the event drives foot traffic and drink sales that benefit you regardless of ticket revenue.
