Better Together Pamphlet Stitch Foundations—Hard and Soft Cover, Aug 7 @ 6 pm

One Class | Better Together Two for One | Two Books

Discover the timeless simplicity of the pamphlet stitch in this hands-on class, where you’ll create two unique projects—one with a soft cover and one with a hard cover.

The pamphlet stitch holds a special place in book history, serving as the binding for some of the earliest printed works. Its straightforward structure makes it a perfect introduction to bookbinding while offering lasting value for archival and creative projects. In this class, you’ll:

• Learn the classic soft-cover pamphlet stitch, often used for early printed material and simple handmade books.

• Create a hard-cover pamphlet binding, an archival technique designed to protect and preserve individual pamphlets or collections with a common theme.

• Explore the role of pamphlet binding in the history of the book and its continued importance today.

By the end of the session, you’ll take home two completed pamphlet-bound books and the skills to create more on your own—whether for journaling, archiving, or sharing collections.
