Make Your Own journal by Kathryn Harmer Fox
In this two day workshop in which you will learn the basics of book binding. You will fold your paper pages into sections and then hand-sew these sections together into a single book block. The cover can be decorated and embellished to your heart’s desire with painting or drawing, fabric, decoupage or embroidery and then wrapped around your hand-sewn block of pages, creating a bespoke hard-cover, individualized book.
It could be a photo album containing your wedding memories; a personal journal for remembered dreams; a sketch book of captured moments; a cook book of collected recipes; a diary for your private thoughts; an individualized baby book stretching into their teens.
Equipment needed

• needle awl (large, strong needle or very slender nail stuck into a cork works well)
• glue brush (3 – 4cm wide, flat brush)
• craft knife with sharp, new blade
• paper scissors
• steel ruler
• cutting mat
• leather needle (blunt with flat, biggish eye)
• paper folder (large ice cream/tongue stick also works well
• pencil and eraser

 
Materials needed

• Student needs to provide the fabric/paper with which to cover their journal. This could be anything from high quality wrapping paper, to heavy duty brown paper, to cotton, silk or canvas. It will be glued to the grey board and must be larger than an A3 size (by at least 10cm on all 4 sides). Think in terms of a dust jacket of a book. Student must also consider whether book is portrait of landscape format.
• Heavy duty, strong sewing thread with which to sew the pages together -dental floss also works well.
• masking tape

 

Supplied kit contains (only to students in SA)

• lightweight cotton tape
• tub flour paste glue

• 20 X sheets A3 paper (minimum weight 180gsm when folded makes up 40 page book block)

I need to know ahead of time, whether landscape or portrait format is required as paper and board is pre-cut to size.
