Sketchbook Revival is coming up (April 11-21 2026, https://karenabend.com), and the first tutorial they had was making your own sketchbook with "Australian Piano Hinge" binding taught by Sarah Matthews (https://iamsarahmatthews.com).

I've never tried this binding before! Lays very flat and pages are removable!

Cover - food box covered with scrap prints
Interior - sketch paper that I tore out of a bigger sketchbook that DOESN'T lay flat

@dirchansky that's so cool!

Where is the sketchbook revival going on? is it a mailing list?

@dirchansky thank you, I found the website confusing, but a sketchbook event sounds super fun

@goldgust Yeah it's a weird website. I'm used to online events having their own URL (vs. the name of the person hosting it), so searching for the event isn't the easiest either (SEO-wise).
Hope you find some workshops that are interesting to ya!
