Ever thought about reproducing something on a small scale? In this workshop we will make a custom silicone mold and experiment with different casting materials.
Description:
During this workshop, we will make a quick set silicone mold. You may make a mold of one of our objects or one of your own. (Keep in mind that quick set molds are best for making impression molds, not fully enclosed or 2-part molds.) We will learn about and mix resin and A/B epoxy clay to cast in our molds. Different mold and casting solutions will be discussed.

Japanese stab binding can be used to make hard or soft bound books. We will create a book using a basic style then discuss how to design your own patterns and practice them.
Traditional hardback books take 2 days to make. We will create one in 2 hours. Starting with a pre-made book block, you will create a leather cover and bind your book.
Description:
To understand how to make a traditional hardbound book, we will start by deconstructing one. We'll discuss the parts, methods for making them, and where to source materials. We will then give books a more beautiful cover and reconstruct our books.
