Book Binding Workshop with Stuart Hill

Expert Bookbinder and Instructor Stuart Hill is back again this year! Register for this event and learn how to make your own book using Tesuyoso - a sewn multi-section Japanese book structure.

Tesuyoso is an alternative Japanese multi-section book structure that is sewn in a technique that has aspects of modern book sewing. The flexible covers are constructed in a manner that is used in most other Japanese book structures, including the well known stab binding. The session will include a show-and-tell of all the other Japanese bookbinding methods and a little bit of history of the book in Japan.

Registration for this event is by donation.
