Chicago Design Works: Student bookbinding workshop

  • Chicago Design Museum 108 N State St, 3rd floor Chicago United States (map)

Bookbinding is an artistic craft that extends back all the way to the fifth century, and at the same time, a highly mechanized, modern industry. The division between craft and industry is not as wide as one might imagine. Some consider bookbinding to be therapeutic, and others see its value as purely functional. In this workshop, you can expect to learn basics of bookbinding, meet other ChiDM student members, and leave with tools that will allow you to continue exploring the craft at home.

This event is for student members only.
