This 1.5 hour workshop will begin by briefly showing example zine and chapbooks that demonstrate the technique that will be taught to get a feel for their various aesthetics. We will focus on bookmaking that doesn’t require glue. The student will learn about bookmaking tools, basic principles and three techniques to create their own chapbooks and zines. Non-glue book techniques: Stab and Stitch Binding/Japanese Binding, Poster Fold books (basic accordion book), and Saddle Stitch Binding (typically used for chapbooks and zines)
