This short, intensive workshop is aimed towards artists who are looking for quick and pain free ways to bind their book projects. Students will learn multiple variations of the pamphlet stitch binding and the Japanese stab binding as well as the x-book. These bindings are quick and easy and can be used to add a handmade touch to zines or other book projects without the need for large studio equipment or glue. Each student will leave with 2-5 small handmade books. Participants are welcome to purchase materials from the list below and follow along with the live demo or they can just join to watch. There will be plenty of time for questions and discussion!
