This workshop is ideal for amateur and experienced bookbinders who want to expand their repertoire. Each of the structures have their own unique features, and you will apply a number of bookbinding techniques that can be used individually or in combination with other techniques. The projects will include a mixture of sewn binding, adhesive binding, and folding techniques, to create six practical and versatile handmade books that require only basic tools and materials. The six bindings will include: stitched accordion, pasted pamphlet, chopstick binding, reverse piano hinge binding, hidden stabbed binding, and slotted stitched binding.
