Hard-cover Stab-Bound Album - bookbinding workshop

Craft a beautifl album using the traditional Japanese Stab binding technique.

Learn how to cut boards and cover them with book-cloth to make you album covers.

If you wish to bring some natural fibre cloth (with or without hand embroidery) to mak e your own book-cloth this can be accomodated. Please let Tamsin know in advance if you intend to tak up this option.

While these rest under weights you have time to create your pages.

In the afternoon we will use a template to set up sewing holes in the pages and covers.

Then you will learn how to bind the album using a traditional Stab Binding.
