Bookbinding Workshop - Make a Multi-Section Case-Bound Book

Bookbinding is a centuries old craft and thoroughly addictive. This class teaches the traditional methods used to make multi-section hardback books.

During this workshop you will make a book fully from scratch. You will learn to:

• Choose the right paper for your binding
• Start with big sheets of paper and fold sections
• Measure and pierce holes for sewing
• Sew onto bookbinding tapes
• Trim the book and line the spine
• Make a hardback, flat back case (the cover boards)
• Attach the book to the case using hints and tips to get that professional finish!

We will use bookcloth to make…

All materials are provided and there will be extra materials available for purchase at the end of the day for making more books easily at home.

Snacks and drinks and biscuits will be near at hand!
