Pamphlet book binding techniques

Linda Zwick is a long-time teacher with the Fuller Lodge Art Center who annually brings a delight with her Psanky Easter Egg Dyeing classes. This year, we've finally got her on our books (pun intended) to teach us some wonderful bookmaking and binding techniques over the spring. CAP members can attend these classes as part of their membership (although there is a $5.00 materials fee for the stitching classes, so please make sure to check that box when you sign up with your active CAP membership). Classes will cover a variety of activities from making a pop-out/folded book to delight a friend or give as a gift to yourself! Linda will also cover the basics of Pamphlet stitching and Coptic Stiching in the remaining classes. Dates and times are below, please read the descriptions on the website carefully, as there may be added information as we get things launched! Not a CAP member? Take a moment to grab a monthly membership. These are $100 a month and cover any activity with the CAP label and each add'l household member is only $25.00. See the Community Arts Programs page for a more in depth description of these monthly passes and how they can keep you creative year round!
