Courses description

In this workshop, participants will learn the fundamentals of bookbinding and how to craft a unique book using the long stitch binding technique. Additionally, we will create an extended softcover that wraps around the book, adding both functionality and style.

The long stitch method is a straightforward and glue-free technique, where signatures are sewn directly into the cover, resulting in a durable and elegant design.

By the end of the workshop, participants will leave with their own hand-crafted book and the skills and confidence to continue creating more books at home with minimal equipment.

What this workshop covers:

- An introduction to the basics of long stitch bookbinding

- Folding, stacking, and pre-punching signatures in preparation for stitching

- Cutting and preparing an extended softcover that wraps around the book
