Bookbinding!
Learn to assemble books by hand! We’ll explore techniques for making books, including sewn Japanese bindings, pamphlet stitch, and accordions. Then you’ll sew your own softcover sketchbook.
Please bring blank paper for the body of your book. There is a $5 to $10 materials fee for exciting cover papers, bookbinding thread, and other supplies.
