Linda Lembke
Enrollment limited to twelve.

You will make a variation of this journal with pages printed for the 2010 calendar year. Your journal will include foldouts, pockets, and other features to hold your own memorabilia in the coming year.
This image shows the colorful spines of a number of Linda’s annual journals.
Linda designed this set of field journals to accompany students’ outdoor studies of habitats. You’ll make a similar series of models that bring us back to appreciation of the value of the good old pamphlet stitch and the ways covers and text blocks can be varied for a user’s needs.
There may also be time to do one large, hardcover sketchbook similar to this one that Linda made to contain her notes for a class she taught at Saint Michael’s College. This structure is an alternative to traditional case bindings, is relatively easy to construct, and satisfactory to use.

e will construct a series of journal/sketchbook models, from simple to complex, considering features and adaptations that could make each form ideally suited for a specific use—travel journal, sketchbook, field journal, annual diary, etc.

The models will incorporate pockets, foldouts, maps, envelopes, closures, and various combinations of exterior and interior materials.

Discussions on variations will consider compactness and portability, durability of materials, strength of binding, pages that open flat for writing and drawing, paper that is pleasing and works with a variety of writing and drawing tools, and built-in spaces for special needs.

Our final model will be a personal journal for the coming year, 2010, with pre-printed calendar and note pages.
