March 25th - Possibilities of the Pamphlet
This introductory bookbinding class showcases the many possibilities the pamphlet stitch has to offer. Students will learn the 3-hole, 5-hole, chain pamphlet stitch, and double pamphlet with paper wrapper. These soft-cover bindings make great pocket-size notebooks perfect for jotting down to-do-lists, notetaking on nature walks, or to use for sketching. Students will explore different types of papers and leave the class with 4 binding variations of the pamphlet stitch!

April 29th - All About Accordions
In this introductory bookmaking class students will learn a variety of methods for folding and constructing Accordion books. This simple, yet intriguing book structure offers a unique format for creating narrative and developing imagery. Are you a printmaker with piles of old printing proofs lying about? Fashioning them into an Accordion book will bring new life and a new story to those forgotten prints. Students will learn hard and soft cover attachments and be exposed to a variety of papers. We will discuss the process of creating content for our accordions through writing, drawing, painting, collage, and paper cutting.
