Learn the art of bookbinding in this three session workshop! Students will handmake book blanks.
* Wednesdays March 1 – 15, 6:00 pm – 8:30 pm
This workshop will introduce students to the art of bookbinding. From sewing text blocks to creating hardbound covers, this workshop will include the entire process of making a handmade book.
Over the course of this three session workshop, students will practice different binding techniques and walk away with several handmade books, including a blank 6×9” hardcover book.
This rewarding craft can be combined with other art forms to create artist books of photography, drawings, or prints. Blank books are perfect for journals, sketchbooks, and recipe books.
All materials will be provided, including the basic bookbinding tools that students will take home for future projects. Participants have the option of bringing in decorative papers, prints, or photographs that they may like to incorporate into their books.
