Explore book-making and paper craft with this series “DIY Books” held once a month. For the first class, we’ll explore Japanese Stab Binding (which is not as violent as it sounds).
Japanese Stab Binding is a technique that creates a stitched, geometric edge to bind paper. The result is a strong and beautiful book. We’ll make a simple paper journal to practice, then use our new skill on a book with a cover.
Choose between cedar scrap wood or card stock for the cover of your book, and curate the pages with an array of styles provided. Use watercolor paper for an art book, lined paper for a journal or bring scrapbook material of your own.
