Have you ever thought about binding your own chapbook or journal? It may be easier than you thought. Onj Friday evening, April 11, as part of the Writers Collective Workshop, Gin Petty will teach a two and a half hour bookbinding session. Participants will learn two easy yet effective bindings suitable for their work. Cost for the session is $20 plus a $5 materials fee.

     
The above binding is one of the simplest and is suitable for a single signature with 24 or fewer printable pages
     
     
Japanese punch binding is more labor intensive, but is far more flexible as far as number of pages available.  It's still a very easy binding, but is more time consuming and requires a little more exactitude.  It is still well within the capability of beginning binders.
 
Participants will have an opportunity to learn how to bind each of these blank books during the evening workshop.  The bindings are simple and even those with no experience should be able to accomplish both.  In addition, participants will leave the workshop with materials to go home and bind a book of their own printed material.
