Create a Sculptural Book—No Glue, No Thread, Just Folds (Plus a Custom Hard Cover)
Discover the magic of the blizzard book, a clever, sculptural binding created entirely through folding—no glue, no stitching, no complicated tools. In this workshop, you’ll learn how to turn simple sheets of paper into a functional accordion spine with pockets perfect for holding tiny artworks, notes, or keepsakes. We’ll take it a step further by creating custom hard covers for your book. This simple upgrade transforms the structure—giving it presence and durability.
What We’ll Do
---Learn the fundamentals of blizzard binding
---Practice precise folding techniques to build an elegant accordion spine
---Craft hard covers that elevate and protect your structure
---Use recycled, found, and specialty papers to personalize your design
---Explore creative uses for your built-in pockets
---Leave with a custom hardcover blizzard book ready for journaling, displaying, or gifting
Perfect For
Artists, journalers, paper lovers, and anyone who enjoys slow, mindful, hands-on creativity. No experience needed—just curiosity and a willingness to fold.
Why You’ll Love It
Blizzard binding is wonderfully accessible and endlessly adaptable—and the addition of hard covers takes it to a whole new level. It’s satisfying, sustainable, and a unique way to give new life to old papers, all while creating in community.
