BOOKBINDING: CREATIVE WORKSHOP WITH MAYDAY STRAYS
10th Dec 2024
In this workshop you will learn a variety of bookbinding styles, starting with do-si-do or pamphlet style and stab stitch, then working up to coptic stitch. You will learn to make more personalised sketchbooks and notebooks for personal use or for a gift, with either pre-designed covers or materials to go a little crazy with.
Techniques covered:
- Pamphlet style - a single covered section containing however many signatures one desires sewn snuggly together.
- Do Si Do Pamphlet style - a two-sided section containing however many signatures one desires on both sides.
- Stab stitch style - a notepad look, with limited folding and as many pages as one can fit between two thick covers.
- Coptic stitch style - classic bookbinding with more sections of signatures between two covers.
