There will also be a notebook bar by Isa Catto Studios as well as a surprise bird-themed cocktail from Marble Distillery Co. Find out more below!
Isa Catto Studios Bird Notebook Bar
Experience the joy of making a book at The Notebook Bar. In the spirit of this ACES event, select from a range of bird-themed covers, either featuring Isa Catto’s watercolors or historical bird images. Customize the inside of your book by choosing lined, graph, sketch paper, and more- plus you can mix and match, adding bird sketches and color along the way. The Isa Catto Studio team will then help you bind it up and you now have a custom-designed notebook to enjoy yourself or gift to a bird-loving friend. Notebooks are $26 each and profits will be donated to support ACES programming.
