SECRET BELGIAN BINDING BOOKS WORKSHOP AT WNYBAC
These books have a unique binding that allows them to be strong (like a case-bound book) but to also lay flat (like a coptic-bound book). They are durable and beautiful, albeit a little tricky to make. Once completed, it's difficult to see how they are constructed which adds to the "secret" part of their name.
Bookbinding for Beginners Intensive
Everything you need to know to start making your own books! Includes your own tool set to take home!
