Making a Book with Japanese Binding

Bound books have been made in Asia for over 2000 years.  The pages are held between folded decorative paper covers and sewn through four holes along the spine edge.  Join HOF conservator Betty Fiske for an afternoon making one of these books.  Bring your own marbled or decorative papers or use some from Betty’s stash.  Covers can be personalized with drawing or collage too.  For the adventurous try a more decorative sewing pattern too.

Fee $75; reservations are limited! Participants must be 15 years or older.

Please contact Jennifer Cabell Kostik to register, 302-378-4119 or info@historicodessa.org.

Deadline for reservations is Wednesday, October 1st.
