Paste paper has a long history in bookbinding. When books first started to be mass produced, paste paper provided a quick and easy way to produce beautiful endpapers for the quantity of books being printed. It’s like fingerpainting brought to the next level!

 

In this workshop, we will create paste paper out of starch paste and acrylic paint using combs and stencils to create unique decorative paper. We will then create a reinforced cover and use a simple pamphlet stitch to create small sketchbooks or journals, perfect for your pocket or purse.

I will demonstrate decorative techniques and we will make several papers. While those are drying, I will demonstrate how to build a reinforced (semi-hardback) pamphlet cover with room for one or two signatures or drawing paper.

 

Time & Date: Saturday, June 14, 2025. 10 AM to 12 PM.
