About Bitesize Bookbinding: Hemp Leaf Binding

Listed Under Workshops Events / Arts and Crafts Events

Create a hardcover hinged book with an intricate Japanese stab stitch – a nifty way of stitching single sheets together and a great book structure to master! In this class I will share my technique for incorporating remnant material into the cover and there will also be an opportunity to include decorative pages on the inside of your book.

We will create a book roughly 26.5 x 10.5cm in class but I will share how to scale up and down should you want to create the same style of book in different shapes and sizes at home.

Please note: there might be aspects of your book you want to continue working on at home or don’t get finished in class – if this is the case, all materials will be provided for you to take away as well as access comprehensive follow up video instructions so you can continue your making at home.

Accessibility: the Ink on Mesh studio is up a flight of stairs and isn’t accessible by lift, if this is a problem please get in touch as alternative workshop space on the ground floor is a possibility.

Location: Ink on Mesh, The Heart of Newhaven, 4-6 Main Street, Edinburgh, EH6 4HY

£40 per person, includes all materials, a cup of tea/coffee and follow up instructions.
