Intro to Bookbinding

IMG_6229 - Stephanie Bogle.jpg

Join Boston-based designer Stephanie in binding your very own book! As part of this beginner’s workshop, we will be discussing:

  • Recommended tools & materials

  • Deciding on what kind of book to make

  • Different binding techniques

  • Recommended resources

You will also have a chance to bind along with Stephanie as she demonstrates two different binding styles, one of which you’ll be able to follow along at home with just a few resources. If you would like to bind along, please bring with you:

  • A sewing needle and thread

  • Paper (Bonus if you have two thicknesses of paper!)

  • Scissors

Let's bind!
