Bookbinding Workshop

In this beginner bookbinding workshop, you'll learn to make a hardcover book with a concertina spine and removable/rearrangable pages.

If you joined us for the previous week's paper marbling class, you'll have some material for your covers already. If so, we'll have some decorative papers for your use.

No experience necessary & all materials will be provided.
