In this workshop, we are going to explore two examples of the traditional Japanese side sewn bookbinding technique, the basic four hole binding and the more elaborate tortoiseshell binding. 
The side sewn bookbinding technique is using single sheets rather than folded sheets and is perfect for creating books out of your (or your children's) artwork, travel journal or to create sketchbooks. 
You'll also get the option to add colourful buttons and/or beads to the binding, and you'll be learning how to make your own templates for the sewing stations. 
This class is suitable for all levels, whether you are new to bookbinding or have got some experience and would like to try something new. 
All materials will be provided, but feel free to bring along any papers, ephemera, fabric, beads or buttons you might like to incorporate into your journals.

Traditional Japanese Book Binding

Start your bookbinding journey in the comfort of your own home at completely your own pace. Detailed clear demo videos show you the processes step by step so you can pause, skip or re-watch to your hearts content. The kit provided ensures that you'll not only have everything you need for the course but to be able to carry on afterwards too. I can be available via email and WhatsApp to answer questions if needed (by arrangement). This series of exercises is the equivalent of a full day course including making time and will enable you to feel confident enough in the process to keep making afterwards. All your materials and tools are included as well as all the video tutorials that you will need. Help is also available via WhatsApp and email. Please allow 7-10 days for delivery of your kit.
Work with traditional book binding materials and techniques and get creative with alternative structures and styles. You will begin by learning to cut and stitch the pages and use canvas to create a hardback cover, resulting in a gorgeous hard back book. You will then be able to go onto exploring larger, designs with a variety of techniques, covers and materials. You will finish the workshop with at least 2 gorgeous books and the skills to continue creating afterwards. Please choose from the following colour themes: Autumn, Summer or Aqua. And the name / message you would like engraved onto the top of your book press (that's included in the kit). Please message me with your choices.
What you will need: A clean and clear work area big enough to spread out a number of materials, books and tools. Scrap white paper (unused print outs or photocopies are ideal or cheap white paper) for gluing and protecting your book. Paper scissors and a pencil. The ability to download files. A device with a large enough screen to view the tutorials and the ability to play sound.
