Japanese Stab Binding and Accordion Books


This week we made a more in-depth version of the Japanese Stab Binding, using screenprinted papers as our covers.

Everyone cut down their paper and made a jig in order to accurately punch holes into the covers and forty sheets of paper to be bound.


Making the holes larger than usual with the awl and using thinner thread made the process somewhat easier.


We then sewed the book together using the technique taught it session 4.


Everyone left with a blank book with screenprinted covers.


We then went over how to connect folded accordion books to create larger accordion structures. Everyone will bind their monotype exquisite corpse prints for Session 7.
