In this two session workshop you will create two hand bound, hard covered notebooks.

In session 1 you will get an overview of the materials, tools and methods used in making a handmade book. After this brief overview, we will move on to making a hardcover pamphlet stitch notebook.

In session 2, we will build on the techniques learned to make a similar hardcover book, but this time using a more involved stitching technique: the double-Italian long stitch. Once you know these bookbinding basics, you will have opened up a Pandora’s box of bookbinding possibilities!
