Handmade Books: The Crossed Structure Binding

Description: In this workshop students will learn to sew a unique non-adhesive journal. The Cross Structure binding was designed by a book artist and conservator named Carmencho Arrequi. It is an innovative binding that is similar to the historical Long Stitch binding and also one that allows for decorative and creative personal touches to the cover. Bookbinding tools, resources and some tricks of the trade will be shown. Students will make at least one unique book perfect for a journal, datebook, sketchbook or artists’ book. The workshop is open to all levels although some bookbinding experience is helpful. All materials and handouts will be provided. Optional: students are welcome to bring their own tools and self-healing mat. From 9:30AM-12:30.
