We're excited to share that Kim Neiman will be teaching JAPANESE BOOK BINDING
on  SATURDAY, MARCH 27th 11 to 1 o'clock.

By popular demand and customer request we are adding a hard bound option to
the Japanese Bookbinding workshop.

OPTION ONE:
Make one hard bound book using the traditional one of the traditional 4-hole binding techniques
described above.

OPTION TWO:
Make three books using different sewing techniques. Learn the traditional 4-hole stab binding
and its variations; the tortoise-shell and the hemp-leaf. These books are soft bound, using
single pages printed only on one side. Folded or non-folded sheets of light weight paper will
be used for the book pages. You will hand-stamped each book with your choice of Chinese
characters creating your own custom titles. Personalized book plates are also included. These
elegant bindings are wonderful for small editions, chapbooks and journals.
