Sheryl Jaffe will introduce eight different book binding techniques in this workshop series. The series starts with the simplest techniques and moves onto more complex bindings. Take any number of workshops, no previous experience necessary.  
September 18- Pamphlet stitch variations in a slip case
Learn a variety of sewing variations for several simple, one-signature book. Make a sample of each and create a lovely slipcase to house the books.

September 25-Accordion variations including hanging books
The accordion book is a folded book, constructed without sewing. It can remain simple and direct or evolve into complex variations with sewn signatures, a variety of papers, cut windows, hard covers and more. Come learn several variations on a theme.

September 25-October 2-Piano Hinge
This binding is quite sculptural and uses a combination of folded pages and rods to create a hinge-like binding. The opened book reveals the dovetailed pages.

October 9-Stab Bindings
Japanese stab bindings create books with a hard cover and an exposed, decoratively stitched binding. It's a great way to bind together single sheets of prints, drawings, photos and text.

October 16-Stitching over Tapes
This binding uses tape supports to attach several signatures together. The sewing is done over the tapes, making a beautiful stitched binding. Bind blank pages or pages that are already graced with words and/or images.

October 23-Long Stitch/Link Stitch
This old German book style uses a single thread to sew sections into a paper cover. The exposed stitches on the spine alternate long stitches with a row of chaining at the top and bottom of the spine.

October 30-Coptic Binding
This ancient North African binding technique allows a book to open and lay flat, making it wonderful for sketchbooks. Features of this book include wrapped hard covers, lots of blank pages and lovely linked chains of stitches exposed on the spine of the book. 

November 6-Closures
A fitting ending to a wonderful series. This workshop will cover a wide variety of creative clasps and closures for all kinds of books.
