Pamphlets are the most common introduction to book arts and almost always the first project in an extended class. And for good reason: the go-to structure for children's books, chapbooks, zines and bound ephemera, the pamphlet is widely useful and introduces many of the essential elements required for more advanced structures.
In this class we will cover (at least) two styles of sewing pamphlets, discuss paper grain and precise cutting and folding techniques, sewing tension and other ideas central to building a codex.
Instructions: You may wish to bring a water bottle, snacks, or something to take notes with. This class will take place indoors.
