Contemporary Longstitch

Create this beautiful contemporary Longstitch Journal, a book that will open flat for drawing and writing. Students will create one paper cased journal, with over 200 pages to hold their creative ideas and pursuits. Although we will use stiff paper for our covers, original 16th century Longstitch books used animal parchment for their “semi limp” covers. If you would like to work with goat parchment instead of paper, you may purchase a parchment cover when you register. Only 6 spots available for use of parchment, sign up today! Prior bookbinding experience is helpful, but not required.
