Dos-à-dos binding

“We Write The Book” “Two-in-One” Bookmaking Workshop at the Northridge Library!

May 15, 2025 By Debra Disman

I was thrilled to lead a “Two-in-One” (also called Dos-à-dos or “back to back” binding) bookmaking workshop at the Northridge Branch Library on May 14th, 2025…in honor of Springtime, Community, and the magic of combining two book forms to create one!  Attended by participants of all ages including families, I was thrilled to see the projects our participants created, and their joy in working in community.

   


I am an artist-in-residence at the Northridge Branch Library, conducting bookmaking workshops and events for the local community and library patronage from February through May, 2025, on selected Wednesday afternoons, 3:30-5:00PM, and Saturdays 11:00am – 12:30PM

Please note date change:
May 21st Wednesday program is now May 14th!   Same time and place!
Free to community, all materials included!
