A note on session length and complexity. The rates below are the base price for a standard 3-hour class — perfect for a cloth-cover rebind or a classic journal project. More involved projects (like binding a book from scratch, working with leather, or tackling a 300+ page text block) may require additional time and materials, which will affect the final price.
Not sure what your project needs? Reach out before booking and I'll give you an honest estimate. No surprises.
Cloth-cover rebind, journal, or simple sewn binding
