Sketchbook Class

Cambridge Community Education is having me teach a Sketchbook Class this fall, and I directed the class here for useful links on bookbinding, sketchbooks, and media techniques.  Hi guys!  Two points to you for being tech savvy!

Bookbinding
Japanese Stab Binding- here are some excellent examples of different stitching.  More can be found with a simple google search.

This last one is from Carrington Arts, which has a lot of excellent examples of different books, I encourage you to peruse.


Traditional Western-style bound books (codex)
