Oooo I want to come and do this course!!! I've made some books with inset and raised designs, but nothing as splendid and amazing as these examples.
However, even though I had a good summer of sales, I haven't made enough for an air ticket to Utah, so I'll just have to keep practising here at home!
Those books are fabulous!

Well Lizzie, I'll just have to come to the UK to teach the workshop. Do you recommend any good places that offer community art classes? :)
