Learn how to make your own notebook or sketchbook by hand! This introductory bookbinding class will focus on folded and soft-cover book forms. You’ll begin by creating a fun collection of painted papers to use for covers, and you’ll learn how to make books from a single sheet of paper. The second week will focus on binding single-signature pamphlet books with a 3-hole stitch and variations. The last two weeks you’ll learn to bind a multi-signature French link book with an exposed spine and cool criss-cross stitch. These book forms lie flat, making them wonderful for journals or sketchbooks–and every time you open it, you get to say, “I made that!” Just a fair warning: you may feel compelled to give everyone you know a handmade book for the holidays this year!
Week 1: Paint a paper bank and single page books
Week 2: Pamphlet Books
Weeks 3 & 4: French Link Book w soft covers
