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: the pamphlet, an accordion and a single page book. You can use what you learn in this workshop to practice many other forms of bookbinding, including more advanced structures.
