Bookbinding: Intro to Japanese Stab Binding
The Discerning Palette, Thornbury
6:15 PM - 8:45 PM
Join artist Frances Daws for a fun, informative, hands-on introduction to the art of Japanese Book Binding
You will learn how to design and sew your very own Artist sketchbook. Create with expert teaching in the relaxed, welcoming environment of Discerning Palette Gallery. Frances will help you create loose abstract designs for your front and back covers using acrylics and inks, as they are drying you will be guided in how to mark out your pattern guideline, we will be initially working with the four hole stitch but information will be provided onto how to complete variations of the design. Once the covers are dry, you will mark out the holes and sew your book together.
All materials, instructions and equipment will be provided for you to complete at least one book in the session, depending on how fast you work you may be able to produce more than one, or try a different variation. Once you have made a book you will be expertly equipped to make more at home, these sketchbooks make lovely handmade gifts.
