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.

The Book Arts League is a Colorado-based community of individuals who share an interest in letterpress printing, calligraphy, and bookbinding.

(kids 12+ must be accompanied by an adult)

All supplies and materials will be provided.

Will be available to register on Monday, March 30 at 8:00am.
