enjoy Today - “Paper” Introduction to Bookmaking

Cathi Belcher

Hand Bookbinding is a slow, thoughtful process and an ancient art. In this 3-hour workshop, we will talk about handmade paper and have the opportunity to each make a sheet of paper which, when dry, will cover a small pamphlet. Most of the class will be spent creating a small leather bound journal. Many other simple book forms (5 in all) will be taught, such as a small accordion book, pamphlet, Japanese Stab binding and a Zine. No prior experience is necessary. There will be written instruction as well as in-person demonstrations for each step. Copious handouts will be given so that you can continue to make books at home
