About the craftsman: Celine Lombardi is a custom bookbinder based in Whitefield, Maine. She became interested in bookbinding as a young adult taking classes at the Center for Book Arts in New York, N.Y. She apprenticed with an older professional book binder before attending the North Bennet Street School, a trade and craft school in Boston, Mass. In 2011 Celine launched her own business: Celine Marie Bookbinding.
Join master book binding craftsman Celine Marie Lombardi for a morning of journal making.
These unique journals will be designed for use in the field collecting native seeds with space to record your finds. Participants will cut, fold, and sew their journals with professional quality materials under the helpful guidance of Celine. Once complete these books will be ready for a summer of seed collecting and botanical observations.
No prior skills required, just a desire to be creative and learn a few book binding techniques. Walk away with a finished (or nearly done) book you can cherish and fill.
Program Fee: $30.00 per person to cover materials and support our continued public programming.
Participants must be 13 or older and should be accompanied by an adult.
