Books in Other Forms #3: Bookbinding Techniques

​Want to learn different ways to bind a book? And how to choose which method works best for your publication? We’ll introduce a range of binding techniques: from staple and spiral binding to hand sewing, pamphlet and concertina folds, as well as more makeshift approaches using paper clips, elastic bands, and found materials. You’ll experiment with different methods and learn which kinds of binding best complements the content of your publication.
