Bookbinding Workshop: Soft Cover Exposed Bindings
Create two stunning books with intricately exposed sewing spines.

What you'll do
In this exciting, hands-on workshop, you will learn how to make two beautiful non-adhesive book structures: the long stitch and the buttonhole stitch bindings. Both bindings have exposed decorative sewing on the spine and lots of potential in terms of materials selection, colour combinations, stitching, and decorating techniques. They open completely flat, which makes them ideal to use as sketchbooks, notebooks, photo albums, or to incorporate your own artwork or writing.
You will learn about different bookbinding tools, materials, and techniques, including identifying the grain direction in paper and card, folding signatures, making covers, creating spine cutouts, and experimenting with different sewing methods. The workshop is suitable for complete beginners as well as those with some experience in bookbinding.
