BOOK ARTS CLASS: Casebound Journal Book

Broad Room
Sacramento, CA

In this hands-on class, students learn the fundamental techniques of traditional bookbinding with a hardcover book created from start to finish. The final book is perfect for a sketchbook, mood tracker, travel log, stamp art, gratitude journal, diary, or whatever else they can think of.

First, students familiarize themselves with folding signatures and sewing a text block (the pages) with a stitch pattern. From there they make a case (the hardcover) from book board, book cloth, and decorative paper. Finally they'll learn to "case in" the text block (create the book itself), combining all the parts into a fully bound, professional-looking book.

This class is ideal for folks with some experience in bookmaking or hand-sewing and those interested in the art of handmade books. All materials are provided, and students will leave with their own completed hardcover book.

Class is two days: on day 1 (August 9, 9 to 1), which is four hours, students sew the text block; followed by day 2 (August 16, 10 to 1), which is 3 hours, where students make the case and case in the text block.
