Description

Join Linda for a series of 6 videos that demonstrate effective techniques to alter a food and drink related book. Originally offered over six weeks, when viewers joined in each week to alter their own book, they are now available in a single package as an archive collection you can view at your own pace and as many times as you like.

This workshop collection contains six videos.
