Students will utilize the accordion or Japanese stab bindings for books with either a hard or soft cover. A basic assortment of the teachers favorite book arts and printmaking materials will be provided, if a student has a complicated design in mind and requires specific materials they must source them, such materials might include book cloth, leather, certain colors or specialty papers, specific binding materials.
