In this 2-day class (2 consecutive days), students will create at least two different blank books using the basic pamphlet stitch technique, projects they can easily recreate at home. They can then fill these books with anything they like!

Class experience

I've been making books since I was a child, and teaching kids to make books for more than 20 years. I am a practicing book artist, and was the featured artist at NYC's Center For Book Arts in 1995. I pride myself on offering clear instruction and tricks to help kids not just make these books with me online, but make them on their own later on!
Students will need all of the following supplies (this is the quick version. If you register, you will get the extra-detailed version in the classroom, explaining exactly how much of everything you need):
-PENCIL
-PAPER:
  -9x12 construction paper (ideally, Tru-Ray - it is far superior to other construction papers)
  -12x18 construction paper (ideally, Tru-Ray - it is far superior to other construction papers) - you will have to measure and cut one piece down (if you want a wraparound cover). The others will stay full size. IF YOU DO NOT WANT TO/CANNOT CUT DOWN A LARGER PIECE - you can use a 9x12 piece for the cover, BUT I'd like to use 12x18 paper to make a folder on day 2.
  -copy/printer paper
  -scrap paper to protect your table when gluing
-SCISSORS
-FOLDING TOOL (so many options! eg a bone folder, "folding tool," popsicle/craft stick, ruler, non-serrated butter knife)
-A GLUE STICK - I recommend this for all decorating on day 1! White glue is tricky to use on a book without it wrinkling the paper terribly. 
-A DISHTOWEL 
-SOMETHING TO MAKE HOLES WITH: like an extra-large push pin 
-SEWING SUPPLIES: 
   -a needle, slightly on the thicker side - I HIGHLY recommend a blunt needle, like a TAPESTRY NEEDLE (#18 is a perfect size) - tapestry needles are ideal for this because they are thicker and blunt and there's less risk of poking fingers, plus it is easy to get craft thread into them. I don't recommend using a sharp sewing needle at all but if you do send your student with one of those, please ALSO send a thimble.
   -craft thread or similar (NOT embroidery floss, it separates)
-IF YOU HAVE SMALL BINDER CLIPS IN YOUR HOUSE - 2 small ones (don't go buy them if you don't have them)
-A BRAD (can be plain or decorative) - unless you are skipping the wraparound cover
-MARKERS/COLORED PENCILS for decoration
-SMALL BEADS (technically these are optional, but nice to have for the beaded binding on the last day)
-OPTIONAL - more decorative paper scraps
-OPTIONAL - Stickers or other embellishments
-OPTIONAL - washi tape
Please note, students will be using sharp things in this class: scissors, pushpins and needles. Although I review safe usage, if you have any concerns about your student's ability to use these materials safely, please make sure you are nearby to offer assistance.

Calling all art explorers! The act of creation shouldn't be limited to professional artists. Artistic expression is for EVERYONE - something you should feel entitled to do, without judgment, your whole life long. Unfortunately, many of us have...
