What You Will Learn?

  • Stab Binding is a form of bookbinding where a few stitches are sewn on the spine to create a simple, yet artistic book. In this class, we'll reuse packaging to create interesting and unexpected covers for our journal..
  • Look no further than your cupboards or recycle bin for some beautiful packaging. We'll create a book and you customize it to the size, form, and page material that you like. .
  • I'll show you techniques using common objects to create your book, as well as some bookbinding tools that you can use as well. This class is a great way to start making a handmade book that you can customize with embellishments. I also show a peek inside my own bookbinding kit and how I store my supplies..
