About this event

  • Event lasts 2 hours

Casebound books are often what we think of when we think of a book; hardcovers and a hard spine wrapped enclosing a textblock. Create your own case bound book adding decorative endpapers, trimming and aligning bookboard, and enclosing the textblock. No skills are necessary to take this class. Textblocks will come prepared for you. Spots for this workshop are limited so sign up today to create a beautiful hardcover book!

The instructor Alexandra Sarette is a bookbinder of 8 years who first discovered her love of bookbinding through junk journaling. Sarette is the who loves playing with unique binding styles and patterns. You can find her teaching and curating at the American Bookbinders Museum in San Francisco.
