This is a 2-day workshop on the fundamentals of hardcover bookbinding using traditional case-binding methods and sewn signatures/booklets. Each student will learn how to bind books using equipment that is readily available and easy to replicate at home, while making an approximately 6" x 9" personal journal. At the end of the course, students will have a Bookbinder's Essential Toolkit and the ability to bind books at home!
No prior knowledge is required. All materials will be provided, and you are encouraged to bring an apron and wear comfortable clothing and shoes. There will be time for lunch - please bring food (or check out nearby foodtrucks and restaurants!) and a water bottle.
