sewn boards binding:::october 26:::1-4pm

the sewn boards structure is a non-adhesive binding. the structure allows for a flat opening, making it ideal for use as a guest book, sketch book, or journal. the sewn boards binding has it's origins in the coptic-style, unsupported bindings of northern africa. this workshop is a great introduction to sewn textblocks. the cost of the workshop, including materials, is $75.00. if you would like to sign up please contact us asap, as we have limited this class to six participants.
