Joanne Kluba has always been drawn to art, books and journals. Kluba graduated with a degree in Fine Arts and had a career as a graphic designer; she didn't want to close the book on her artistic skills so she found a way to bind her interests together. This outgoing and creative Missouri native took a Japanese bookmaking class. The results spoke volumes, as we’ll see in her cloth bound journal made with silk book cloth and Japanese Chiyogami paper.
