Workshop // Macro to Micro - Miniature Bookbinding

Description
In this workshop, students will be shrinking down binding techniques to create an assortment of miniature books. With each model, students will explore the size range of miniature books by creating bindings measuring just under 3” to the itty bitty. The structures will vary from non-adhesive paper bindings to a quarter leather case binding. Crafting miniature bindings can be a fun way to use scraps, but is also a great way to challenge your bookbinding skills.

This workshop will be live instruction through Zoom. Open to students at any skill level, but please contact me if you have questions determining if this workshop is right for you.
