About the presenter:

Jen is a maker of books. As an illustrator and writer, it is a fitting occupation! She uses a variety of materials to handcraft art journals and collection books. You can find her books at eastportgallery.com/Jennifer-maffett.  Japanese stab-binding books are a beautiful example of a book to keep records. Jen will help you craft a journal to record vacation memories or to create memories as a gift for someone. Or maybe just use it for writing or sketching.
