Bookmaking 101

$75.00

Thurs, 9/11, 5:30-9:30

Learn the foundations of bookbinding methods that can be as simple or complex as your imagination allows. We will go over the materials and processes required to bind three types of booklets: the magic eight page zine, accordion books, and pamphlet stitching. These three bookbinding methods are foundational mediums in zines, chapbooks, and artist books. We will also go over the different printing and reproduction methods to creating an edition of hand-made booklets. Students will leave with an informational guide on the bookbinding techniques discussed, as well as a small edition of hand-bound booklets.
