Holiday and Every Day: A Quick Stack of Notebooks. Online workshop.
This workshop is not currently scheduled, but it could be in the future. Please contact me if you are interested.
The Double Pamphlet with Tipped Wrapper is a satisfying solution for a two-section text block. The signatures are sewn back-to back with a single pamphlet stitch. A simple wrapper of text-weight paper is tipped to the text block at the spine and at the fore edges. The spine is square and crisp. The sewing is covered and protected.
This simple notebook is easily adaptable from a large page size to a tiny purse or pocket size. The cover is made from text-weight paper. Choose any color, texture or pattern that will delight you.
You can construct many of these notebooks in just an hour or two. Start using your notebook immediately or make a pile of them to have a selection of handmade gifts always ready.
In this workshop you will make at least three notebooks. The first is a simpler structure to warm up or bring new binders up to speed, the second has a large page size perfect for taking notes at a workshop, and the third is the same height and width as your smartphone. If you work quickly, you are welcome to prepare extra supplies and make additional books during class.
Note: Students must provide their own supplies for this workshop. Scroll down for the tool and supply list.
The online format is a series of live tutorials via Zoom. The tutorials are recorded and the videos are available to registered students for 90 days. Students need not be present for the live sessions. A Zoom link will be sent the week before class. Please check your spam filter if you have not received the link within 24 hours of the session.
Payment in full is due at time of registration. See FAQs for refund policy.
