Turn discarded hardcover books into two functional, artist-quality sketchbooks in this hands-on bookbinding workshop.
Students will create a classic traveler’s-style journal designed to be refillable and adaptable for ongoing use, as well as a sketchbook using long stitch binding—a durable technique dating back to the medieval era.
Along the way, you’ll learn practical skills including removing and repurposing book covers, preparing signatures, selecting appropriate papers, and stitching clean, secure bindings.
This class emphasizes craftsmanship, structure, and creative reuse. Participants will leave with two finished handmade sketchbooks—one refillable and one long-stitched—and the confidence to continue making custom books for drawing, journaling, or mixed media work.
Join Minette Riordan at Lincoln Gallery on Sunday, October 25 from 12pm to 4pm for this class and learn a practical skill you can use over and over again.
No prior bookmaking experience needed for this class.
