Bookbinding Workshop

Service Description

In this hands-on workshop, students will create a beautiful, fully functional handbound art journal using artist-grade materials. No prior bookbinding experience is required. Participants will learn the fundamentals of bookbinding while assembling a softcover cloth-bound journal (5.5"x5", 16 pages)with sewn signatures and watercolor paper pages perfect for sketching, painting, journaling, or mixed media work. Each student will receive a complete take-home kit in a reusable cigar box, including pre-cut book cloth and chipboard, watercolor paper, binding tools, and a printed step-by-step reference guide. All tools and materials are provided. Amy Schmidt - "I teach bookbinding as an extension of my own art practice, which focuses on transforming vintage books into functional art journals. My goal is to make bookbinding approachable and rewarding and my workshop is designed to guide students step by step through the bookbinding process in a supportive, beginner-friendly environment."
