BAL • Adult • Miniature Cross Stitch Binding on Leather Spine • Sat (June 6) • $120 • East
with Brenda Gallagher
This book structure is an intermediate sewing technique for students who have experience sewing multi-signature book structures. Leather spines will be backed, punched and prepared for hand sewing signatures of artists paper. Covers will be prepared and attached to the spine. The binding is completed with a decorative cross stitch pattern using multiple colors of embroidery floss. Students will have options to design their book by combining their choice of different leather colors, decorative cover paper options and multiple colors of thread. The result is a binding unique to your design aesthetic! Additional leather spines will be available for students to make additional books at home.
Bring your own maps - which we will trim to size - or take from our vast supply. Everyone will take home five 9”x14” broadsides.
