About

Join us for this in-depth beginners bookbinding workshop. Learn one of the simplest binding stitches—the long stitch. Dating back to medieval Germany, it requires little training while also being decorative. The long stitch is used for binding signatures together without glue—also called a non-adhesive binding. Stitches are sewn directly through each signature and the spine, resulting in visible decorative lines on the spine. No experience is necessary. Class-size is limited to 12 participants per workshop. A great starting point for anyone new to bookbinding. Sign up today!
