Book Binding

Mini Lesson I taught with 6th grade girls at Grant Middle School 1/21/13


The process of Japanese Stab Binding was challenging for many of the students, but they stuck with it and in many cases created their own variations on the stitches to make beautiful usable books that they were eager to take with them and write in as soon as they were finished. I was lucky to get a few photos.
this was my demo
