Book Binding

Part of the text and image unit included a workshop with an introduction into book binding. A specialist  lecturer came in for the day, who had vast experience in many different methods of book binding. The main two methods we focussed on were the Circle Accordion and Japanese Stab stitch book binding (see link). Book binding was the first, hands on piece of work we did within the course. After watching the demos (from Hannah, a book binding pro!) we soon had the opportunity of making our own. I was really in my element making the books and thoroughly enjoyed the workshop.

These book binding skills are a great extra to have, and can be used to present pretty much any type of print work. great workshop!
