This day-long workshop provides a complete overview of building a soft-leather bound journal.

You will learn how to work without a pattern, how to choose leathers and how your choice effects a project, be introduced to simple handtools for leatherwork as well as an alternative to conventional Coptic stitching for securing your journal pages.

You will have a choice of leather colours for your cover as well as a variety of closures to complete your journal for its homeward journey.

Acknowledgement of Country

Across Victoria’s Midwest, we acknowledge that we travel across the ancient landscapes of many First Peoples communities. These lands have been nurtured and cared for over tens of thousands of years and we respect the work of Traditional Custodians for their ongoing care and protection.

We recognise the past injustices against Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in this country. As our knowledge grows, we hope that we can learn from their resilience and creativity that has guided them for over 60,000 years. As we invite people to visit and explore Victoria’s Midwest, we ask that alongside us, you also grow to respect the stories, living culture and connection to Country of the Ancestors and Elders of our First Peoples.

©️ 2025 Visit Ballarat. This initiative is funded by the City of Ballarat and Tourism Midwest Victoria.
