Atelier Bindery is now offering weekend summer project classes! Learn how to make a Japanese-inspired book and gain a wonderful introduction to the world of fine binding and design.

Class participants will construct a cloth-covered book suitable for use as a journal, sketchbook or 4 x 6” photo album. Each completed project will reflect the character of its creator through the selection of materials used. Participants will also have the opportunity to create a custom dimensional cover design.

This class will cover scoring and folding, adhesives, the properties of paper and board, measuring techniques, cutting, drilling and punching of varied materials and working with decorative papers and fine book cloth.

Each book will use only acid-free binder’s papers, glassine, book cloth and board, ensuring that this project will last for generations to come. Book cloth and marbled papers in many colors are available to choose from; all other tools and materials are furnished at the bindery. All you need to bring are your ideas and enthusiasm to the workbench for this beautiful and unique summer class.

Please call Emily Umentum at 920-360-9650 to reserve your space today; classes are limited to 4 students per session.
