Nov. 5, 2016 : Introduction to Longstitch Photo Album Bookbinding
November 5, 2016 | Saturday 12:30-5:30pm
Photographic Center Northwest, 900 12th Ave., Seattle WA $175 (Members of the Photo Center receive 10% discount with code.) Level: Introductory Prerequisites: None Longstitch binding is perfect for creating photo albums and scrapbooks or flexible lay-flat journals. The pages are stitched into the book all the way through the spine, creating beautiful stitching patterns in any arrangement you can dream up. Stitching the pages through the spine means you can space them out as much as you like, to allow plenty of room for tipping in photographs or ephemera. We’ll learn to create the case, draft a stitching pattern, and use that pattern to sew the book together. At the end of the class, everyone will have a book that is unique to them. To register, visit the Photographic Center Northwest. |
