japanese binding workshop:our next workshop is a book binding workshop...
what you will learn:
you will learn how to construct a japanese sewn book. pouch books are so called because their pages, folded at the fore edge and sewn at the back edge, form pouches, but their japanese name translates simply as 'for hole'.
all materials necessary to create the basic book structure will be provided, as well as instructions and notes to take home. paper nerds will provide a variety of decorative papers and materials to decorate to book, but you are welcome to bring your own!
the japanese sewn binding workshop will be on july 20, from 1:00-4:30. the cost for the workshop (including materials) is $55.00. the number of participants is limited to 6. priority will be given to those who register early. Please email us to register and to receive more information.
You will fold paper for your text block, cut decorative paper for the cover, make koyori for the inner binding, punch holes with an awl, sew, and viola! above is a detail of the sewn corner.
