Join us at Owl and Lion Bindery for an exclusive Sewn-Board Binding Workshop tailored for sketchbook enthusiasts! Discover the innovative Sewn Board Binding technique, perfect for creating contemporary sketchbooks with exceptional flexibility and a seamless finish.
In this workshop, participants will delve into the art of Sewn-Board Binding, a relatively new technique that allows books to open effortlessly, with a lined spine. Learn how to seamlessly integrate the cover with the text block, resulting in beautifully crafted sketchbooks with a contemporary look and feel.
Using specialty book cloth and decorative paper for cover, participants will bind a stunning sketchbook using the 'drummed' technique. This method ensures a flawless finish without a visible joint between the cover and text block, providing your sketchbooks with exceptional flexibility and durability.
Whether you're a seasoned artist or a budding sketcher, this workshop offers the perfect opportunity to elevate your sketchbook-making skills and create unique, professional-quality sketchbooks.
Reserve your spot today and embark on a creative journey to craft your contemporary sketchbooks at Owl and Lion Bindery!
