In this workshop, Lyz will present the Japanese stab binding technique - a strong and simple binding that is a step up in durability from the Pamphlet stitch. Participants will learn a new stitching technique and a new method for gluing cover pieces together. In this workshop we'll be using bookbinding needles and waxed thread, bookboard, bookcloth and decorative papers, PVA glue, bone folders, and awls.
Lyz will have on hand their collection of maps as a decorative paper option, but participants are also totally welcome to bring their own artwork or decorative paper to put on the covers or interior of their books as well.
$60 fee includes all materials for this 3-hour workshop
PRANKSTER PRESS WILL OFFER MORE SATURDAY BOOKBINDING WORKSHOPS IN FEBRUARY+ MARCH! They will be posted here, on Book Suey's Facebook and Eventbrite.
