Hi,
These books are beautiful, as are the others on your site! Have you ever considered teaching a course via video/online? You do have some good videos and I am wishing I lived near enough to take your class.

Lisa,

Thank you for the wonderful comments!

We're creating bookbinding dvds through a kickstarter project! The project is still in the works before going live on kickstarter but we'll have more information on it soon. One of the rewards for a pledge is a workshop where I fly out to you and do a two day workshop for you and your friends along with other goodies.

I'll keep you posted!

I would pledge on that.
