Japanese stab-stitch bookbinding is a traditional hand-sewing technique used to bind single sheets or folded signatures along one edge using decorative stitching.
In this Sunday afternoon workshop, you’ll make your own soft-cover books using two sewing patterns; the foundational Four Hole Stitch and Noble Binding. These methods produce flat, flexible books with exposed spine patterns and are suitable for journals, artist books, portfolios, and everyday notebooks. This class is suitable for beginners and those with some bookbinding experience.
We recommend reading through our workshop terms + conditions, including our refund policy to avoid any confusion or disappointment.
