I didn’t really know what to expect from this event, but I’m glad I got to walk away with a bunch of different sized notebooks and journals. I liked a lot of the zine examples that the people from the Garden Door Press brought in, especially the ones that were more minimalist and delicate. I thought it was really cool that the operation at the Garden Door Press is centered around hand-made zines that speak about one idea or subject.

I liked that they gave us options for customization, like the different papers we used, the size we wanted, and even provided us with ideas of how to use interesting types of papers to add more character to our books.

I thought that this workshop was very relaxing, and I would love to do more bookmaking and write and draw in the books I got to make!
