About
This interdisciplinary workshop combines techniques for indigo dyeing, surface design, and bookbinding to create one-of-a-kind books. You’ll start by brewing a simple and safe indigo vat appropriate for home use, then use traditional Japanese dyeing techniques including stitch (nui-shibori) and clamp resist (itajime-shibori), as well as techniques for printing and painting using indigo pigment, to create layered surface design on paper and cloth. You’ll learn how to turn your custom cloth into bookcloth, and then learn the basics of bookmaking including constructing signatures, endpapers, and covers, as well as two simple yet highly customizable methods for bookbinding: Japanese stab-binding and Secret Belgian binding.
