Signature Style Pamphlet Binding Workshop

In this class students will learn a quick and easy way to make a simple hard bound book. In the first session we will discuss the basic tools and  skills of bookbinding, cutting, folding, gluing etc. will learn how to prepare a pamphlet to be bound, and then in the second session we will attach the boards and cover them   We will also discuss how to take the basic skills learned in the class and apply them to other book arts projects. Students need to be comfortable cutting with an xacto or mat knife.

Pamphlet bound books are made by taking a single, thick sewn signature, and attaching the covers boards directly to the front and back and then covering the boards.  The result is a slim, hardbound volume with a rounded spine. This is a simple and very rewarding structure.
