This workshop will begin by using the contact method of using natural plant material to pattern paper appropriate for book binding. Students will use contact-printed papers dyed with real leaves along with a “Secret Belgian” binding technique to construct a book with customized decorative stitching along the spine. Students will print a variety of papers to include in their sample book, and are welcome to bring their own precious papers to use for accents. No previous bookbinding experience is required.
