About the Workshop:

This in-person class at Center for Book Arts is taught by instructor Norah Maki.

A quick and fun introduction to soft-cover book binding. In this class, learn a couple of simple bookbinding techniques - in miniature format! We'll use elements like decorative paper, colorful thread, cutouts, and collage to add flair to our tiny books. No prior experience necessary. Students will make 3 tiny books, 2 accordion and 1 long-stitch. Students are encouraged to bring their own decorative papers or items for collage.


Optional Materials:

  • If you have specific decorative papers or images that you would like to incorporate into your books, you are welcome to bring those 

All other materials will be provided by Center for Book Arts at no additional cost.
