BOOKBINDING TECHNIQUES
25th Jul 2025
The session will start with do-si-do or pamphlet style books and stab stitch, working up to coptic stitch.
You'll learn to make more personalised sketch/notebooks for personal use or a gift. Coming with either pre-designed covers or materials to experiment with.
- 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 more 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
