Description

Throughout the history of bookbinding, there’s evidence of recycling. Paper and leather, too valuable to waste, were stripped from old books to make covers for new. In this class, participants will join that sustainable tradition, recycling vegetable cartons into one-of-a-kind blank books inspired by Anne Goy’s crisscross binding! Along the way, this workshop teaches broadly useful bookbinding skills, including how to prepare a text block and fundamental sewing techniques.
