The art of bookbinding is becoming a popular pastime for many. In a world where Kindles are king, there are some who are rededicating their time and energy to the craft of old world book making. On Saturday April 13th from 9am-12pm, Janna Willoughby-Lohr, owner of Papercraft Miracles, will be hosting a bookbinding workshop at Coming Home Buffalo Center for Holistic Arts, 140 Elmwood Avenue (see here). “Some people believe that printed books are dying,” said Janna. “It’s time to resuscitate!”
