Bookbinding pamphlet class

Bookbinding Class – Single & Double Pamphlets

Leave a Comment /

Join Laura Rowley and Adam Bryant at the Interlaken Public Library on Saturday, February 1, 2025 from 10:00am to 12:00pm for a FREE pamphlet bookbinding course. Participants will leave with 3 finished books, made in single and double pamphlets. The pamphlets are simple, yet elegant, books that make great journals (and gifts!). Learn the basics of bookbinding including an overview of tools and materials and how to fold and sew books by hand.  The class is best suited for adults or older teens as sharp cutting tools will be used.

Registration is required – phone the library at (607) 532-4341 to join in!

This class will be taught by Adam Byrant and Laura Rowley, both teaching book artists from the Finger Lakes Region. Adam earned his MFA from the University of Iowa Center for the Book in 2021. At UICB, his areas of study were bookbinding, book history, letterpress printing and papermaking. Since 2022, he has worked as a Senior Conservation Technician in the Cornell University Library Conservation Lab. Laura earned her MFA from the University of Alabama in 2014. She operates Illuminated Press which publishes small editions of handmade books, and she is the Director of the Lodi Whittier Library.

This program is made possible with generous funding from the Nelson B. Delavan Foundation Part A
