Learn basic bookbinding techniques in a collaborative workshop. Participants will come away with 3-4 handbound books, from zines to pamphlet variations. Both traditional and non-traditional modes of production will be shared, including the use of recycled and re-purposed materials. All materials and tools are provided, and this workshop is open to all ages. No experience necessary!
