Overview
  • Hi! My name is Amaya and I'm an artist & video creator!

    If you are wanting to get into bookbinding (or simply just want to make your own sketchbook) this is a great class for any level. In this class I will be showing you two different ways of binding your own sketchbook: Perfect Bound & the Cord Sewing method.

    These simple bookbinding methods are easy and require no heavy equipment, which means you can get started right away. I will show you step-by-step how to easily bind these sketchbooks, as well as show you how to make the hard covers for them. Take a look at the class project section to see the list of tools and materials needed. 

    This class by no means encompasses everything there is to know about book making, but I hope that it will inspire you to get started and explore more! 

    Lessons include:

    • An overview of all supplies needed
    • Perfect Bound method step-by-step
    • Cord Sewing method step-by-step
    • Making the book covers
    • Assembling the sketchbook

    If you have any questions at all, be sure to ask me in the discussions page!
