Virtual Introduction to Japanese Stab Binding with Lindsey Knipe
Tuesday, November 14th, 6pm-8pm
Members: $25, Non-Members: $35, Materials: You Provide
Join us for an exciting journey into the world of DIY bookbinding, right from the comfort of your own home. Together we will explore the art of Japanese stab binding, a technique that's not only accessible but also involves no complicated paper folding or messy adhesives.
Discover the magic of creating beautiful, hand-bound books with everyday supplies you probably have lying around your house, including ideas for using recycled materials. By the end of this class, you'll proudly walk away with your very own stab-bound book, eagerly awaiting your personal touch – whether that means filling it with your thoughts, artistry, or whatever inspires you.
