Stick Binding

Course location Ascona

The stick binding technique offers endless possibilities and non-traditional variations on how to bind a book. With this non-adhesive binding technique, each section is individually sewn onto a rod. At the end of the course, all participants will have created and constructed their own objects. The rods can be of any material that has appropriate rigidity, for example: wood, metal, plexiglas, carbon fiber, etc. As covering material for the boards, paper, cloth, leather, and so forth may be used. The structure is ideal for books with one or more sections. The format should be at maximum A5 (148 x 210 mm, 5.8 x 8.3 inches).
