Advanced Bookbinding
Spend three hours hand-stitching a museum-quality book with leather covers and a slip case, guided step by step by Corey and Haven.
Join STITCH AND DESTROY for a fun crafty evening of creating your own hand-stitched book. Corey and Haven will guide you step by step in creating a single, museum-quality handmade book. Utilizing heavy-body watercolor paper, with leather covers and a protective slip case!
The key difference between this workshop and Basics of Bookbinding is that in Advanced Bookbinding, the materials are not pre-cut or prepared for you. By the end of this workshop you'll be an expert in all of the elements of making a handmade book.
We are making just one book, and will dedicate the full three hours to this process.
Space is limited in our studio- we are able to accommodate 4 attendees. Sign up now to secure your spot!
