San Francisco Center for the Book

Learn bookbinding basics while exploring hand-embossed techniques.

We’ll use beautiful momigami papers, design and cut out our own focal elements for the covers, then sew an exposed stitch on the spine—both aesthetic and functional.

Great keepsake for notes and sketches!

Prerequisite:
None
