Bookbinding Workshop: Japanese Bindings and Wraparound Case

Make your own beautiful Japanese books and case



5 hours Class size 3 to 5 guests       £130 (PayPal Pay in 3 available)

In this workshop participants will make three handmade books using different Japanese sewing techniques: the 4-hole binding, the noble binding and the tortoise-shell binding. We will also be making a traditional bookcloth covered wraparound case that folds up to enclose the books.
Japanese stab binding is a great method of binding together single pages with your artwork, photography or writing or making beautiful sketchbooks and notebooks. All materials will be provided and no previous experience is required.
