This book making class will teach the basics of Stab Binding. You will make a book to take home.
Join us for this monthly class to learn various ways of making books, adding embellishments and altering existing journals and art books. Each month will be a different technique so join us for each of these classes to learn so many new skill.
An altered book is a form of mixed media artwork that changes a book from its original form into a different form, altering its appearance and/or meaning.
Bookbinding is the process of physically assembling a book from an ordered stack of paper sheets that are folded together into sections or sometimes left as a stack of individual sheets. The stack is then bound together along one edge by either sewing with thread through the folds or by a layer of flexible adhesive. Alternative methods of binding that are cheaper but less permanent include loose-leaf rings, individual screw posts or binding posts, twin loop spine coils, plastic spiral coils, and plastic spine combs. For protection, the bound stack is either wrapped in a flexible cover or attached to stiff boards. Finally, an attractive cover is adhered to the boards, including identifying information and decoration. Book artists or specialists in book decoration can also greatly enhance a book's content by creating book-like objects with artistic merit of exceptional quality.
This class is suitable for adults.
All projects require no previous experience.
Supplies provided.
What to Bring?
Please bring your basic supplies that you like to write and draw with. Maybe some stamps or washi tape for embellishing. Also think of some lists you might like to have in your book.
All participants must be pre paid participants.
