Long Stitch Workshop

In this workshop you will learn the Long Stitch. We will use this centuries-old technique in conjunction with a link stitch to bind pages into a canvas cover. Traditionally, this stitch binds pages into a "limp" cover, such as parchment or leather. You can decide to use your canvas raw or paint it to make it sturdier and colorful. This is an intermediate class, basic bookbinding experience is encouraged. Suitable for teens and adults.
