Come and bind your own books at Common Press! In this 2 hour workshop, you will learn the basics of making pamphlets and accordions, and then experiment with variations of each of those structures individually and in combination with each other. You'll leave the workshop with a handful of small books and book objects. Use them as a notebook or sketchbook, a gift, or a model for additional handmade books. This workshop is inspired by the work of book artist Hedi Kyle and her book Art of the Fold.
Instructor Erica Honson is the studio coordinator for Common Press.
All supplies provided freely. No prior bookbinding experience necessary; all types welcome!
Registration is required, and opens two weeks before the workshop.
