Bookbinding Workshop with BeetleBarrow Books: October 14
A Bookbinding Workshop with BeetleBarrow Books – Japanese Stab Hardcover: Sunday October 14, 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.
Join Chandra Rice and Lindsay Wood Slavin for the day as they temporarily transform The Pearl’s ground floor theater into an artist’s retreat — Learn how to make a Hardcover Japanese Stab Book in this day long workshop.
The Stab binding comes from Japan and is particularly useful for binding together pages that already have something on them. Poets can bind their writing for loved ones. Maids of honour can create a fully personalized guest book for their brides. Moms can bind together their child’s artwork. Or blank paper can be inspiration. Use ancient Japanese techniques and modern tricks of the trade. Choose papers, threads, and book cloth to create your cover. Choose paper for your text block and any ornamentation. Then bring it all together using traditional Japanese stitching! Walk away with a beautiful book with a touch of the east.
The all day workshop is $90 and includes use of tools, all materials, and even a home made lunch. All skill levels are made to look good!

Interested in a traveller’s best friend? Join Chandra Rice and Lindsay Wood Slavin for the day to learn how to make a Western Hardcover Book. This type of book binding is the one we are most familiar with; find almost any hardcover book in your library and you are looking at a classic western hardcover book. This durable book is great for sketchbooks and journalling and makes a beautiful handmade gift (only 37 days ‘til Christmas!)
In this workshop, learn how to fold and sew together a series of signatures to create your text block. Then create a cover and spine to house your text block. The end result is a durable beautiful book that you’ve made from start to finish!
