The Stab Binding
with Paulette Rosen
We will make both soft cover and hard cover stab bindings. There will be ample time to master a variety of stitching patterns that are visible on the outside of the book. Traditional and non-traditional sewing patterns may be explored. The books made will be suitable for journals, sketchbooks or scrapbooks. The basics of hand bookbinding — measuring, folding, cutting and gluing — will be covered. No experience necessary.
Supplies: Tools and materials will be provided by CAW.
Wed, 6:30 PM – 9:30 PM, 6/14 – 7/12
5 sessions: $275; Early bird price: $261 (Discount available until 6/9)
