Introduction to Bookbinding - ONLINE
This beginner’s class will explore the basic principles of bookbinding, including two foundational book-sewing techniques, saddle stitch and stab stitch. We will discuss ways to build off of these patterns to create more decorative stitches, as well as the general principles and considerations of bookmaking that will inform you if you choose to pursue more complex projects. Whether you want to make a special journal for yourself, make a gift for someone, publish your own zine or chapbook, incorporate bookbinding into an existing art practice, or simply try out a new skill, this class has all you need to get started! All materials are included in the fee, value $12.
This class will be using the Zoom platform. A Zoom invitation will be sent prior to the start date with details on how to participate. Material kits will be available to pick up at CVU High School prior to the start date or can be mailed for an extra $5.
