Introduction to Book Binding

Master three different binding forms in this four hour class

Join me for a wonderful new four-hour offering: Introduction to Book Binding. This skills-based class will be the perfect introduction to three different binding forms and will prepare you for the advanced class on Coptic Book Binding offered in June. We will explore variations on the pamphlet style, Japanese Stab style and complete a long stitch form book as well. The pamphlet style books will be made from beautiful hand marbled paper, the Japanese Stab Style covers will be made from decorative card stock and the Long Stitch form will be made from faux leather samples. All the paper will be pre-cut to size and I will walk you through the many steps required to complete each project. All materials will be provided and you will take home samples and hand illustrated instructions so you can make many more books in the future. As always, there will be snacks and hot/cold drinks to keep us going during this four hour class.

This class is for adults.

​

This class will be limited to 8 participants.

​

Meet at Art Emergency, 721 E 9th Street at 1 pm.

There are no cash refunds, however the price of the class can be used as credit in a future class, either for yourself or a gift to another, credit towards private lessons or a deposit on a custom commission paper garment.
