In this workshop series I share 3 of my favourite bookbinding techniques – an Accordion Fold book, Japanese Stab Bound Book and an Exposed Long Stitch leather or pleather journal.
A great introduction to the wonderfully satisfying (and addictive) craft of bookbinding! Each of the book structures covered in this workshop have their own unique qualities and make for great sketchbooks and journals.A great personal project or gift for a sketching enthusiast. My kits include my favourite Flat White 170gsm paper, made from recycled coffee cups, which is great for sketching and watercolour as well as general note taking.
In my video tutorials I walk you through the process of compiling and stitching your book and share lots of ideas on how to add personal touches to give your books their own individual character.
