Stab Bookbinding Workshop with Maria DeAngelo

Create your own handmade book from start to finish! Join Maria DeAngelo for a hands‑on introduction to stab book binding — a beautiful, time‑honored method known for its exposed stitching and elegant structure. Maria will guide you step‑by‑step as you design and assemble a 6" x 9" book with a hard cover, decorative end papers, and visible binding along the spine. You’ll learn how to make a sturdy cover, prepare your pages, stitch the binding, and line your book with thoughtfully chosen papers that make it uniquely yours.

Whether you’re new to book arts or looking to expand your creative skills, this workshop offers a relaxed, supportive environment to explore the craft of handmade books and leave with a finished piece you’ll be proud of.
