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, including making pamphlet-stitch journals and two variations of stab bindings. Students can expect to leave with 3 or 4 books (5×7” or smaller) and the know-how to continue their bookbinding at home.
