An Introduction to Bookbinding
Wednesday, February 29, 6-9 pm Cost: $65
Have you ever wanted to make a traditional book but didn’t know where to begin? This is the perfect class to get you started with some basic technical skills. This class will take you through the basics of making your own hard cover journal- you will cover book board with cloth and paper, add decorative headbands, ribbon for a bookmark, then “case in” an existing, pre-made text block. This is a simple, yet satisfying way to make a hardcover book. Participants will walk away saying “I made this!”
Japanese Stab Binding: Guest Book or Photo Album
Wednesday, March 14, 6-9 pm Cost: $65
