Using felted wool as cover & inserted spine of this book puts a modified spin on this binding style. This technique is perfect for a beginner or experienced book binder.
Description:
The felted wool used for the cover will give the book the structure of a hardback and the comfort of a softback. This year’s variation on the style adds a fun design detail while also making it easier to bind. If time permits, we will create a unique closure for the book as well.

You will receive samples of thermo plastic in sheet & pellet form as well as tips for using the materials. You will have plenty of time to experiment with the materials or make a small project.
Description:
This workshop is very open ended. Past participants made the following items: Flowers, a knife, repaired a toy, a fireball that lit up with a spare LED from his costume, fangs, finger extensions, and more. This really is a fascinating material, and a great way to learn how to use it is by sitting around with a bunch of new friends experimenting together! For those of you interested in other sculptural techniques and materials, consider taking our “Choose Your Own Adventure with Epoxy Clay.” (You can create a base structure out of Thermo Plastic and a long lasting & detailed outer shell with epoxy clay.

Wood covers, leather straps & exposed stitching along the spine give this book a rustic look you will be proud of. Time permitting, we will create a special closure for the book.
Description:
Medieval books are a celebration of materials, construction, and craftsmanship. With their hearty materials, pronounced ridges along the spine, ease of use, and attention to detail. These books are truly an inspiration! It took a long time for master artisans to create these fine works. In this 2-hour workshop, we will create a lovely, yet simplified, book inspired by much older tomes.

Create an impressive hard-cover Coptic book. This is often thought of as a difficult binding technique because of the sewing pattern, but you will successfully finish your book during the workshop!
Description:
Coptic stitch bookbinding is my favorite binding style. The covers can be made of soft material, but the glory of this binding is that it is the easiest style to turn ANY hard material into a book cover. We will use wood for our covers. Please note: of all the bookbinding classes I teach, this is the one I don’t teach differently from year to year, so if you have taken it before, you might want to pick a different class this year. Unless you just want to make another awesome coptic book! :)
