Make a multi-section softcover book in this introduction to bookbinding at the Iowa City Press Coop. Participants will learn the basics of bookbinding: how to cut down paper, punch and sew sections, as well as how to appropriately cut and fold cover stock paper to make a sturdy multi-section softcover book, known as the Longstitch Binding. You will go home with a journal made by your own two hands, ready to jot down thoughts or to capture drawn images.
registration deadline: April 1
open to teens & adults 14+
