Small is beautiful! We’ll make handfuls of tiny books in three styles (accordion, dragon, and wrap-around cover), each under three inches square. Not only are tiny books adorable, working at this reduced scale allows us to work easily and quickly, and to think about how scale changes our experience. No prior bookbinding experience is required. This class is an ideal introduction to bookmaking for a newcomer and a fun exploration for an experienced bookbinder.

  • Students should bring cutting mat or other cutting surface, ruler & X-acto. All other materials including paper & bookmaking tools are provided by instructor with costs covered by materials fee.

    Due to a set of stairs, this classroom is not wheelchair accessible.

    Classes are confirmed one week prior to the start date. In order to help us confirm classes, please register as early as possible.
