IN PERSON CLASS
A Series of Monthly Book Arts classes taught by Bridget O’Malley
This class- Cross-Structure Binding. There are several versions of the Cross- Structure Binding, we’ll start with the basics and talk about ways of upgrading the design once you understand how to work the basic structure. This structure was developed by Carmencho Arregui after studying ancient book structures. There is a similarity to both the Long Stitch and Sewn on Straps Bindings that we have done in past classes.
Teens are welcome in this class!
