Japanese Stab Stitch Bookbinding
'Japanese bookbinding or 'Stab Binding' is an ancient form of bookbinding that is beautiful, easy for beginners and endlessly customisable. The basic Japanese version of stab binding is called Yotsume Toji, which roughly translates to “four holes”. This is because the binding pattern is made using only four holes. There are many other binding patterns that use more holes to create their intricate stitched designs.'
Japanese binding uses thin, loose leaf paper to create a book. It's perfect for any paper or crafting offcuts and the finished books make beautiful gifts.
In this short and informative workshop, you will learn all about Japanese bookbinding. Japanese bookbinding utilises beautiful, external stitching and thin handmade paper and covers. You’ll learn all about the materials used in Japanese bookbinding. You’ll learn different ways of stitch binding your books, paper folding and tearing and creating concertina pages for your book. We will teach 3 beginner Japanese stab bindings - The 4 Hole, Noble and Tortoiseshell stitches. You’ll end the session with at least 3 handmade, hand bound books to take home with you.
