Books come in all shapes and sizes. In this workshop, we’ll explore elegant solutions for single signature bindings as we create a multitude of models with both soft and hardcovers. Students will begin this workshop by making a series of simple softcover pamphlets using a variety of sewing patterns before moving on to two different hardcover structures sewn on stubs. All of these structures allow the book to lay flat and are perfect for chapbooks, presentation pamphlets or short stories.

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.
