Haley holds one of her handbond journals

Handbound
Books

I create handbound sketchbooks and journals—each one made with care and meant to be filled with your ideas, sketches, and stories. I’ve been bookbinding for over ten years, and you can find my work at local artisan markets around the Chicagoland area or in my online shop. I also teach intimate bookbinding workshops for small groups, where I share the craft and joy of making books from scratch.

Come say hello at my next market, shop my online store, or reach out to book a workshop!
