Intro to Bookbinding: Japanese Stab Binding & Pamphlet Stitch Workshop with Shelly Banks

Still looking for the perfect little book to quickly jot things down, or can’t find a pretty enough watercolour travel book to get inspired by?  In this 3 hour class Shelly will take you step by step to learn two quick methods of bookbinding: the pamphlet book and the Japanese stab-bound book. The stab bound book is useful when dealing with heavier weight paper such as watercolour paper as it doesn’t require folding.  Pamphlet books are great for stuffing in a back pocket for notes, keeping in your car, and great for handmade little hostess gifts.
