About
Learn how to work with decorative papers, binder's board, and folded pages to create a simple hand-bound book. You'll learn fundamental bookbinding skills including working with paper grain, scoring and folding, creating a hard cover and liner with cold mount adhesive, and sewing the pages into the cover with a simple pamphlet stitch. You'll have a completed book at the end of the class.
