Hardcover Classic Bookbinding Workshops July 29
Learn the timeless technique of quarter cloth binding in this hands-on workshop designed to introduce you to the art of classic book construction. Using salvaged materials, you'll create a hardcover book from start to finish, binding a single signature into a sturdy, beautiful cover using the quarter cloth style—a historic method known for its durability and elegance.
We’ll walk step-by-step through measuring, gluing, stitching, and casing in, blending tradition with resourcefulness. You’ll leave with a finished hardcover book, a deeper understanding of book structure, and the power to create your own classics—without buying new.
A perfect next step for those who’ve made softcover books before, but welcoming to beginners ready to dive in.
