Crossed Structure Binding

This workshop will meet In person at the Austin Book Arts Center

In this workshop, we will learn to sew a Crossed-Structure Binding, a modern binding developed by artist and conservator Carmencho Arregui. In this non-adhesive binding style, the book covers act as the sewing supports, creating a minimal design with exposed sewing. This structure invites us to use color and design in our cover materials and sewing thread.
