About this Event
3-Hour Workshop
Date: Saturday, November 23, 2024
Time: 10am-1pm
Description: This basic binding is the building block of larger, multiple signature bindings. The pamphlet stitch can be made smaller (three-hole) or larger (seven-hole+) for projects of different scale, and can accommodate different different kinds and quantities of paper, for a range of different projects.
In this 3-hour workshop, we will learn the basics of working with paper, how to sew using the pamphlet stitch, and how to attach a paper cover. Students will make 1-2 books and will have the opportunity to experiment with different applications of the skills learned.
Tuition: $55 + $15 materials fee
Materials: All materials will be provided.
