Further Detail
Simple and relatively quick to make you will complete at least one book during the workshop. We will look at some traditional Japanese books and begin with the basic binding technique. If you have already delved into the world of hand made books then investigate and develop more complicated stitched bindings with perhaps the addition of beads. The possibilities are endless for developing the intricate embroidered patterns.
