Learn Something New!





The Japanese binding is one of the most basic bindings.
It is easy to learn and has many applications such as a photo album.


A Review of several classes by Lucretia Coleman:

" I recently attended two of Minna's workshops (Basic Bookbinding and Decorative Papers) and I LOVED both workshops. Minna is extremely talented--both as an artist and an instructor. I had a WONDERFUL time learning the basics of each workshop and I came away with my new creative treasures...anxious to start applying what I learned and just having fun! You've got to take one (or more) of Minna's workshops...no matter what your artistic level. I look forward to the next workshop! Five stars!*****"

Learn a new skill in a non-pressurized supportive atmosphere, allowing you to explore new ideas and discover your artistic side.
Craft Foundry classes take place at 701 Belgrade Street, Philadelphia PA 19125.

Fun with Decorative Papers


Here is a visual journey for a paste paper being painted. First are painted layers of yellow and red, and some purple.
Then combs are used to make patterns. Brushes get used next, and then a flower and stars are stamped throughout.

You can do any color and any pattern you want.
