Who says a pamphlet has to play it safe? In this lively workshop, we’ll transform the humble pamphlet stitch binding into a playground of engineered surprises—adding folds, cutouts, and inventive combinations of bindings that turn simple structures into dynamic storytelling forms. Discover how small shifts in design can pack a big punch, creating books that move, reveal, and delight. Open to all levels—bring your curiosity and a spirit of experimentation (and any unconventional materials that inspire you). This Zoom workshop includes a materials kit designed to make your session engaging, hands-on, and easy to follow—while leaving plenty of room for experimentation and for your own good ideas to roam free afterwards.
