STAB BINDING // AFTER HOURS — Sew Your Own Japanese Notebook

September 24, 2026 at 6:30:00 PM

Thursday, September 24, 2026 · 6:30–8:30 PM

STAB BINDING // AFTER HOURS turns the visible sewing of Japanese binding into a compact technical study for adults.

Participants choose two of four traditional structures to complete during class, working through paper preparation, punching, thread path, sewing order, tension, corner turns, and knot placement rather than simply copying a finished sample.

You leave with two completed books plus instructions and materials for the remaining two structures. Beginners are welcome. Materials included. 18+ only.
