This two-session workshop will offer instructions on binding books with one, two or three sections into paper covers. Their exposed spines display a variety of stitching that function as decoration as well as support. They are perfect for dressing up your chapbooks, zines and/or slim artists books and require no special equipment.

Participants will be introduced to nine different sewings described in Keith Smith’s book, 1- 2- & 3-Section Sewings. The samples represent a cross-section of the 122 patterns described in Keith Smith’s book. A template for a sewing card will be provided to facilitate the learning of the decorative stitching.
