Medieval Flexible Binding

Medieval Flexible Binding explores a lightweight book structure inspired by traditional limp vellum bindings. Using a single sheet of heavier paper as the cover and relying entirely on sewing rather than adhesives, this binding creates a flexible, durable book without rigid boards.

In this class, students will work through the complete binding process and leave with a finished book. The pace allows time to focus on careful construction and small details without feeling rushed. Medieval Flexible Binding is a satisfying standalone class for those who enjoy hands-on making and appreciate simple structures that rely on thoughtful execution.
