Introduction to Bookbinding Workshop
This introduction to bookbinding workshop is the perfect way to dip your toe in the world of making books.
The Pamphlet Stitch is an often overlooked bookbinding technique due to it's apparent simplicity. In this workshop Rhain will show you how it is in fact the powerhouse of bookbinding, and the most versatile bookbinding technique there is.
Rhain will start off by walking you through the fundamentals of bookbinding, before you dive straight into making a single signature booklet. After a delicious lunch Rhain will guide you through how to make a multi-signature leather journal using the the same fundamental techniques from the morning session.
You will be given a set of tools that you will learn to use through out the day and then take home, along with your completed leather journal, booklet and instruction sheet, so you can continue making books at home.
You will also have a clear idea of the different options for stitching, folding, cutting, piercing and knotting to achieve different effects and some adaptions to try out at home.
