French link stitch by Gersande Schellinx
Step by step, a small group of participants will be guided to bind blank papers to a mix of repurposed misprints from our riso workshop.
French link stitch is one of the safest ways to make scattered prints or papers come together as a whole. Sewn sections are the (usually) most hidden craft at the core of many bindings. It is the perfect method to learn a wide range of steps towards bookmaking.
One can get familiar with basic bookbinding tools and techniques while making this one object (folding, punching holes, sewing, cutting, etc.) This process also introduces how one can map out prints for a publication, being mindful of the format of your materials and the potential of pattern-making on your (note)book’s spine.
No book is indestructible, but sewn sections are one of the most durable bindings in the publishing world.
From 18:30 to 21:30
