The Athenæum


CrazyCraftyNagHammadi

Using a simple long-stitch binding typically hidden underneath the case of a book, and a simple one-section binding, we will create wild sculptural books by sewing up pages made of crumpled prints that have been smoothed out. Students will learn two simple binding techniques, and learn how to create texture and form by manipulating your text papers. Additionally, we’ll combine materials by using over-sewn canvas and laminated paste papers for our covers, furthering the experimentation with material, all the while discussing ways to incorporate text and image into these structures. Co-sponsored with The Athenaeum of Philadelphia

All materials will be supplied. The workshop will begin promptly at 10am. We recommend that you bring your lunch.

Class size is limited. Advance registration required, please register early.
