Exposed Stitch Hand Bound Book

Build on your bookbinding skills with the Exposed Stitch Book. The Exposed Stitch book?s pages and cover are bound together with a decorative stitch that is exposed at the spine. This unique technique allows the pages to lie flat when the book is open. This one-of-a-kind book is constructed with thread, mat board, decorative papers, and acid-free paper. Participants will learn to measure, score, size paper and miter corners. Included is a recipe to make an archival and non-toxic bookbinding paste. Please bring a metal ruler, utility knife, pencil, and eraser to class. Also a bone folder and self-healing mat if you have them.
