Program Description

Creative Studio Workshop

Get creative and craft with your community in the Creative Studio Workshop series!

The Creative Studio Workshop is a self-guided project learning experience, where you can work at your own pace to learn something new. We'll provide the supplies and the instructions, and every Thursday we'll have staff on hand to give you guided assistance. From sewing to 3D design, and from programming to painting, we'll have a project for everyone!

Each project runs from 4 to 7 weeks. Storage space will be provided by the library where necessary.

Event Details

Learn essential bookbinding and typesetting skills with us in our three-week summer project series! We'll show you how to typeset a short 16-page book, bind it with a simple pamphlet stitch, and then give it a softcover binding!

This week we'll be focusing on setting your sewn signatures into its binding. We'll attach the end leaves to your signature and glue your book inside its binding. If you've missed a week in our workshop series, don't fret - we'll get you caught up or you can use a sample kit we've prepared.
