Japanese Ledger Binding

Have you ever wanted to learn how to make your own handbound books? In this workshop, you'll have the opportunity to learn several traditional Japanese Ledger Binding stitches from popular instructor Jen Maffett.

We will practice templates for four classical stitch bindings and talk about how to create your own pattern if desired. And then, you can choose your favorite to make your own Japanese stitched ledger to take home. Use your book as a travelogue or memory keeper or for sketching and journaling. Supplies included.

Sliding fee scale available (contact us).
