Elegant, stylish, and great with a lovely baguette, this bookbinding stitch is a fan favorite! It looks complex, but at its core is quite simple, once you get the feel of it under your fingertips. Over the four weeks we'll have a chance to make several books with this exposed stitch -- great for just-starting-out- and experienced-bookbinders alike! 

OPEN STUDIOS

Our Open Studio sessions offer you dedicated time and space to work on your book arts projects. You get to choose what you’re going to work on during each two-hour block, and you can help yourself to a small assortment of snacks, coffee, tea, and sparkle water.

These sessions are non-instructional time, meaning you work independently but in community with others.

Sign up for a single session or a whole bunch!

Open Studio: Bindery

Work side-by-side with other bookbinders on a project of your choosing. Bookbinding tools and some materials available.

Learn bookbinding skills, techniques, and vocabulary in this beginning bookbinding workshop.

We'll talk about paper and bookbinding tools and make a few simple book structures, which will allow participants to get a decent start on their bookbinding journey.

Note: This workshop is for beginners, and is a prerequisite for our more elaborate book structure workshops.
