The Memory Journal — Hand-Bind a Watercolor Journal from Someone's Clothing

$65

4–6 lessons · 50–70 min total

The most emotionally resonant class in the curriculum. Students use fabric from a loved one's clothing — a parent's shirt, a grandmother's dress, a child's outgrown jacket — to cover a hand-bound watercolor journal. The result is irreplaceable. This is the class that makes the subscription a no-brainer, and the project people keep forever.
