Class Description

Description

What you'll learn in this bookbinding class:

Learn basic bookbinding techniques and walk out with a complete leather journal in the color of your choice, plus the skills to make more on your own.

Come learn how to make your very own hand-bound, softcover leather journal.

In this class, we’ll tackle long-stitch bookbinding, a method that has been used as far back as the 18th century. In just two hours, we’ll cover basic bookbinding techniques and terminology, from sizing and folding paper to the final assembly process and everything in-between. 

Take your pick of a variety of high-quality leathers in fun colors (don’t worry, we’ll have neutrals, too), as well as binding thread in black or white.

No experience or prior knowledge of bookbinding is necessary to take this class. We’ll teach you everything you need to know from start to finish to take home one 6″x9″ DIY leather journal (complete with a fold-over closure and pencil holder)– and the skills to make more books on your own.

    Although I apparently lack the ability to make a perfect journal, this class was a ton of fun and the instructor was funny and patient with all of the students! I'd absolutely take it again just to see if my skills can improve.

    I really enjoyed the class! I arrived about 15 minutes late (issue with subway), but the instructor brought me up to speed in no time. She was very personable and gave lots of tips and techniques. I would definitely take another class at Brooklyn Craft Company!!
