About this event
In this beginner-friendly workshop, you’ll learn how a book is constructed, how the pages and cover come together, and how to create the decorative exposed stitching shown in the sample. No previous bookbinding experience is needed.
You’ll choose from 15 different book covers, each numbered in the class photos, so you can pick the one that feels most like you. Then we’ll walk through the process step by step, including preparing the pages, assembling the cover, and completing the stitched binding.
Your finished book can be used as a journal, sketchbook, keepsake book, creative notebook, or whatever else you decide it wants to become.
All materials and tools are provided.
Please note: Bookbinding involves the use of sharp tools, including items such as needles, awls, and cutting tools. Participants should be comfortable using these tools with instruction and supervision.
This class is perfect for curious beginners, paper lovers, journal people, and anyone who has ever looked at a handmade book and thought, okay, but how did they DO that?
You’ll leave with your own finished hand-bound book — and the dangerous knowledge that you may now want to make seventeen more.
