San Francisco Center for the Book

Enjoy a fun and relaxed learning environment, and walk away your very own hand-made screw-post album.

This book is designed to fit 4x6" prints and works great as a way to preserve and share memories as a photo album or scrapbook. You will learn all about the basics of this flexible structure that can be taken apart, re-ordered, added to, and put back together with just a couple of screws.

This is a great class for those new to bookmaking! No previous experience is required – anyone is encouraged to come, learn, enjoy, and walk away with something creative and useful.
