French Link Stitch Bookbinding

Learn this decorative stitch, combined with the Coptic stitch, to create your handmade journal!
From cutting and wrapping your book cover to folding every signature and putting it all together, your creativity and hand will be in every step in the process.
You will first choose multi-media paper or white journaling paper, depending on the book you'd like to make (you can also incorporate your handmade paper if you completed the Plants & Scraps Handmade Paper workshop). Next, you will make the covers of your book and fold your signatures. Next, we stitch!
We will create templates for our holes, learn the stitching process for the French Link and then work until completed. You will have the option to stay until your project is complete.
All materials + snacks + coffee/tea are provided.
This workshop is for adults and hosted at the Wild Arts Learning Center in Springfield, MO. For locals: just out east Sunshine and around the bend from Turner's Station off J Hwy. The address and directions are emailed upon booking.
