Bookbinding for Beginners

Discover the art of hand-binding in this relaxed, beginner-friendly class. You’ll learn several traditional structures, Coptic stitch, long stitch, stab binding, and more—and make a variety of small books suitable as sketchbooks, photo albums, journals, or gifts. Basic tools and supplies are provided; we’ll cover choosing and working with specialty papers (students may bring their own if they want to create a specific look or texture). Friendly instruction, hands-on practice, and plenty of time for questions and creative exploration.

Please be advised we will be using sharp tools and occasional animal products (inlcuding bees wax and leather).
