Introduction to Bookbinding: Saddle Stitch, Accordions and Single Page Books

This workshop explores the fundamentals of hand bookbinding, including basic sewing and paper-folding skills, vocabulary, and the use of bookbinding tools. We will create three unique book structures: pamphlet, accordion, and single page book. You can use what you learn to practice many other forms of bookbinding, including more advanced structures.
