Softcover Bookbinding Workshop - Sunday, April 6th
In this bookbinding workshop, students will create a softcover book from start to finish. We’ll start by sewing our text blocks and then explore how to make a sturdy paper cover to protect them.
This binding can be made at home with minimal tools and without any adhesives, however, students will have the option to glue the spine for a more refined look. This style of binding is a super accessible and versatile option for notebooks, sketchbooks, or artist books. If you’ve done simple pamphlet stitching before and want to level up, this is a great next step — but don’t worry, beginners are totally welcome!
