The Art of the Book begins with the book structure. In this workshop, learn two wonderful sewing techniques to get you started, which you will enjoy repeating from your home or studio:  the pamphlet style for folded pages is a perfect binding for poetry chapbooks, journals or drawing books; and the Japanese stab binding is ideal for assembling single sheets of artworks, photographs, and writings.  Get a glimpse into the world of making artist’s books and jump start a new way of thinking.
Workshop fee $80 (materials included) Space is limited, register now in advance!
