Have you ever wanted to learn about bookbinding but didn’t know where to start? How about not spending too much either? Well here’s your chance…a drop-in book lab where you can discover – and make – three different kinds of book structures over three months (or just one). Show up when it begins at 6:00 and by 8:00 you ARE a bookbinder.
Choose either a Japanese stab-sewn book, or a single-signature multi-hole sewn book, or learn the essential secret to making accordion-fold books. Bring your own cover weight decorative papers and let’s go (optional)!
Offered once in June, July, and August — and if you love the process, come back in the Fall for a full-day workshop and dive deeper into this paper, needle, thread (and sometimes glue) world. Your friends might not understand, but IYKYK. If they’re nice, and encourage you, they might even get a gift book out of it!
