ONLINE Workshop with Anna Yevtukh

ITALIAN LEDGER BINDING

Sunday, July 6 + Friday, July 11, 2025, 10:30 a.m. – 1:00 p.m. (EASTERN TIME)

Dating back to 13th-17th centuries, Ledger books were account books with records of debtors and creditors in Medieval Italy and Spain.

During this workshop we will re-create a model of this medieval book which can be equally useful now-a-days as a journal or sketchbook.

There might be some homework between sessions. Registrants can work along with Anna, watch the live session, or just watch the videos later.
