This bookbinding workshop with book artist Tina Lyon (University of Creative Arts) covers some basic bookbinding techniques so that you can start making your own artist’s book. The workshop starts with an introduction and information on bookbinding tools and paper. It then takes you through the following:  pamphlet; running stitch; Japanese stab binding; concertina; and dos-à-dos binding.
