Hand Bookbinding In-Person
We’re going to sew pages and glue a book together in this class. Students will produce one finished book. We will learn how to fold signatures, use an awl to punch holes and stitch together our pages. Students will choose paper for the end pages and glue them onto the front and back of the signatures. After gluing the binding, we will cut the page edges cleanly. Lovely Japanese paper will be glued onto mat board for the covers; the signatures will be carefully placed inside and glued in. Voila! Your own book!*
