All Levels
Hardcover Book with Exposed Sewing
with Paulette Rosen
Learn to make a hardcover book with beautiful stitching showing on the spine. Many of the basic techniques of bookbinding will also be introduced. We will paint Tyvek with acrylic paints, which creates a textural effect, to use as sturdy covering material; sewing options include link stitch or butterfly link stitch. These books are especially suitable for journals, sketchbooks or guestbooks, as they open flat.
