ALSO: Join us at Barn Gallery in Ogunquit, Maine on Thursday, August 7th (from 10am – 3pm) for an inspiring “Bookbinding Workshop” led by Ogunquit Art Association artist-member Gayle Fitzpatrick.

Suggested donation: $75

This bookbinding workshop covers some basic bookending techniques so that you can start making your own artist’s books (works of art that utilize the form of the book) and unique journals and sketchbooks.

The workshop starts with an introduction and information on bookbinding tools and paper.

It then takes you through the following: a simple pamphlet book, a Japanese tab bound book, a basic codex, a hard cover accordion book, a soft cover book with signatures sewn on tapes, and flutter books.

We’ll focus on the techniques, structures, tools, materials and processes.
