Description:

In the Japanese Stab Binding workshop, participants will build a hinged hardcover Japanese-bound book and then build an enclosure to house it. The first portion of the workshop will cover creating a Japanese-style text block and binding of the hinged hardcover book in Japanese silk book cloths and papers. We will cover terminology, traditional practices and materials in the process.
The second portion of the class will be devoted to learning how to create a Japanese-style box with a bone enclosure. Instruction will be given on how to apply this technique to students’ own objects and books for future box-making endeavors, as well as traditional methods for boxmaking.
