An introductory hands-on workshop with expert Bookbinder and Instructor Stuart Hill, as he teaches how to make your own book using a basic cross structure binding. All tools and supplies provided (but feel free to bring your own tools). 

After the workshop, there will be a be-weekly drop-in book arts circle at the Main Library (1010 Main Street) where you can bring in and work on your own projects. Starts Wednesday, June 4 from 6:30-8:30pm (https://beinspired.libcal.com/event/3881987)
 

Stuart Hill is the founder of George Hill & Co., an establishment devoted to the craft of bookbinding.  Years ago, Stuart stubbled across bookbinding as a hobby interest which soon turned into a serious pursuit.  With a background in engineering and architectural design, Stuart soon discovered that the book is a technical structure where everything is done for a reason.  His greatest enjoyment is the research and discovery of new book formats which may require dissection, recreation, and of course much practise.
 
Stuart is always ready to share his discoveries through workshops and direct inquires.  It is a significant role for him to pass along his knowledge so that he contributes to the survival of ancient crafts.
