We will learn case binding, long stitch, accordion, Japanese stab binding, coptic, pop ups and anything requested we can figure out together. This first meetup will focus on long stitch binding. I have some supplies to share but if you intend to practice at home and continue with the meetup long-term you will need: • Self Healing mat (at least 8x10 but larger is better) • cutter/blade/box knife to cut paper • a metal ruler • scissors • linen thread • an awl • beeswax • book cloth • wax paper • Pva glue (poly vinyl acetate) • bookbinding needles, tapestry needles will work, they need to be large enough for the linen thread • book/chip board • leather • bonefolder • paper for the filler, decorative, plain, etc. I will adjust this list as needed.
