Introduction to Bookbinding

Regin Igloria, visual artist and founder and has been leading Community Binding workshops throughout the Chicagoland area (and beyond) since 2010. The workshops introduce bookbinding skills and techniques to participants in a collaborative setting. Various binding techniques are covered, including variations on hand-sewn pamphlets and zines. Prompts are incorporated in the process to build content within the books, and instructional handouts and samples are shared, offering expanded resources to explore the medium beyond the work session. Participants come away with a few variations of books they have made and contribute to an ongoing community archiving project.
