About this event
Bind your own book under the tutelage of instructor Skyer Hawkins in this hands-on 5-hour workshop. Learn several easy bookbinding techniques for creating your own journals, notebooks, or sketchbooks. This class is perfect for beginner bookbinders or folks looking for a refresher, and will focus on sewn, non-adhesive bookbinding techniques by making pamphlet stitch journals and two variations of stab bindings. Students can expect to leave with 3 or 4 books (5’x7″ or smaller) and the know-how to continue their bookbinding at home. Additional information: Advanced registration required. A $40 materials fee is due to the instructor in class and covers all materials and tools to make several types of books. Prerequisites: Ages: Suitable for ages 11+. A discounted tuition price for students ages 11-17 is available at checkout. Skill level: This class is open to all skill levels, and especially geared towards beginners. Physical ability: Sewing requires average hand strength and flexibility, including the ability to pinch and hold needle and thread.
