Kids Bookmaking: Journal & Sketchbooks (Ages 9-12) 1W25
Artists will learn the basics of book making using beginner friendly binding styles like Pamphlet Stitch and Yotsume Toji, also known as a Japanese 4- hole punch. Students will practice folding and hand sewing through the book making process. Artists will have the option of personalizing their final book's cover and paper for either journaling or sketching leaving with 2-3 handmade books.
On the first day of the workshop, students will practice folding and Pamphlet stitching two books before moving on to their final journal/sketchbook design. On the second day, students will build off their first day skills and practice 4- hole punch stitch as they create their final journal/ sketchbooks. Artists will have the option to decorate the covers before leaving with their new bookmaking skills.
Make up day (if needed) 3/1, 3/2
