Studio Workshop: Handmade books/crown binding with Arista Sandoval-Slater

In part one of this introductory workshop participants will create a simple but decorative book using the crown binding style which is created using a single sheet for the spine, front and back covers. Pages can be added in various styles and so we will utilize the accordion fold for a seamless addition of pages to create a handmade book simply out of paper.
