Japanese Stab Binding: CREATE! Workshop – July

Day workshop
Saturday 21st July 2018
11 – 3

£45.00

Running alongside our ‘Japan’ summer exhibition, this workshop will show you how to create a notebook using the traditional method of Japanese stab binding. The book block itself will be made of Tosa Washi, a thin but very strong Japanese paper. This is held together primarily with ‘paper stitches’ then trimmed. The covers are of Katazome-shi, a decorative paper printed by hand from blocks designed for printing Kimono fabric. These are stitched on with linen thread.

If you have a hectic life and have to squeeze your creative time into a tightly-packed schedule, our CREATE! Saturday Sessions are for you! You can learn a new skill and indulge your creativity, and get home in time for tea! All our workshops are suitable for beginners and are taught by expert tutors, and the price of the course includes all materials.
