Saturday, August 1
9:30 AM – 3:30 PM
There will be a short lunch break. Please bring a bag lunch.
Pack a lunch and join us for a day workshop and learn to make simple, beautiful handmade books that are well crafted, inspiring and have different uses. The binding techniques are some of the oldest in bookmaking traditions and are valued for their durability, flexibility and endless creative opportunities. We will explore the basic parts of a book, including paper choice understanding paper grain and the physical relationship of papers and binding materials. We will make books with folded, sewn signatures and Japanese bound books. Other books will include accordion folded books and flip books.
No prior experience is needed, just curiosity and a desire and love of making items by hand. You will leave with finished handmade books and the knowledge to continue making these books on your own.

Refunds will not be given within one month of the start of a workshop. Workshops are not pro-rated. A $25 processing fee is withheld from all refunds.
