SUMMARY:Bookbinding Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a beginner bookbinding workshop led by Antler Editions. A great beginner class for people interested in learning bookbinding techniques they can easily recreate at home. This class is great for those of you who have been learning on YouTube but still feel as though you have a lot of questions. Learn about tools. paper types\, and how and where to purchase supplies. \n\n\n\nArtists can learn to bind their own sketchbooks\, poets can learn to bind their own writing\, crafty people can dip their hands into another medium! In this class we will explore four different journals with different stitching and cover techniques. \n\n\n\nStudents will go home with a variety of blank journals and the knowledge they need to continue the practice at home. Materials and tools provided. \n\n\n\nSeats are limited; registration required. Sign up at the Meekins desk or give us a call.
