Join us for a fascinating workshop on the art of long-stitch bindings that explores their rich history and development in Italy. In this hands-on session, participants learn about the origins of this binding technique and its evolution through the centuries.
Gerald Ward guides students through the steps of creating a long-stitch-bound book using traditional materials and methods. Participants discover how this technique allows for a beautifully crafted book that opens flat, making it ideal for journals, sketchbooks, or special editions.
No prior bookbinding experience is necessary, and all materials are provided. Come and explore the history and artistry of long-stitch bindings in a creative and inspiring environment.
