Cabin Fever Reliever: Bookbinding Workshop

  • Historic Richmond Town 441 Clarke Avenue Staten Island, NY, 10306 United States (map)
 

In an age of digital media and reading off of screens, it’s hard to imagine that books were bound by hand for centuries. Under the leadership of historian and educator Felicity Beil, participants will learn to bind a small journal book in a special workshop. Using paper, glue, a needle and thread, transform fabric, and paper into a book of your very own!

Participants initiate a hand bound book project, and learn the skills to bind books for future projects.

Workshop time: 1pm (approximately 90 minutes)
$20 per person
Ages 10 and up.
