In this class you’ll learn the foundational skills needed to start designing and making your own books. We'll cover some of the basic tools and supplies used for creating books and a few simple binding techniques (accordion fold and saddle stitch).
By the end of the class, you’ll leave with two complete books, and a knowledge base you can build on for learning more advanced types of bindings.
Tickets are $18. Please register online at least 24 hours in advance, or message to let us know you’re coming if you’d like to pay cash.
If you’re interested in taking the course, but find ticket price to be a barrier, there are a limited number of spots available for volunteer assistants. Please contact Missa by email at [email protected] or phone: 812-219-6119.
