Intro to Bookbinding

Explore the timeless world of bookbinding with Blake Brenneman, a skilled artisan known for his expertise in traditional craftsmanship and innovative design. This immersive introductory lecture and hands-on workshop will guide you through the fundamentals of bookbinding by making a coptic-stitched journal.

Under Blake's thoughtful guidance, you'll gain a structural understanding of how books are made. Discover the joy of personalizing your own journal, planner, scrapbook, or sketchbook. Blake will inspire you to develop a unique vision for your book and take home a book--or book-in-progress--at the end of class. 

This workshop is designed for anyone who is curious about the book- and journal-making process. It offers a fun opportunity to stitch, paste, and fold your way to a finished artefact.
