Multi-section Stitched Books (Photobook Series 2)
Workshop with Clare Bryan

Saturday 25th July, 2015
10.00am-4.30pm

Cost: £40 including all materials
15 places

In this one-day workshop you will make two multi-sectioned, non-adhesive books. Folding paper into several sections you will stitch them together using the Coptic binding method with board covers decorated using inkpads. In the afternoon you will sew sections onto card tapes, which will then be threaded onto a folded card cover. Clare will show examples and talk through the methods of pagination and planning involved in multi-section books.

This workshop is appropriate for beginners just starting out with an interest in making books by hand, and those with more experience who want to extend or refresh their skills.
