In this class we will be making a 3 signature book using a coptic binding stitch with wire detail. The book is 9.5″ x 6″). We will create the pages using a variety of techniques-botanical dyeing, fabric patchwork, collage on paper and much more. We will gather a collection of vintage ephemera to fill in the book pages as well. There are demonstrations on my particular way to collage and paint. Taking these collages a step further by dipping them into botanical dye baths. I demonstrate image transfers, several embroidery stitches which create beautiful mark making, wire work, stitching a patchwork, layering borders and bundles with complexity as well as simplicity. It all comes together as we gather our pages into signatures and sew those signatures to create a beautiful intriguing book.
