Mead and Book Making

June 21 @ 1:30 pm - 4:30 pm

A handmade stab-bound book resting on a light wood surface, viewed from the spine edge. The cover is wrapped in cream and indigo-blue fabric printed with a geometric pinwheel-and-bar pattern, and the spine shows the exposed dark thread of Japanese-style stab binding stitched through the pages. A green object sits blurred in the background.Join Starrlight Mead for a Mead and Book Making workshop on Sun, Jun 21, 1:30pm-4:30pm. The only thing that goes together better than Starrlight and a good book is making your own! Pittsboro book artist Josh Hockensmith of Blue Bluer Books will walk you through the basics of bookbinding with demonstrations and activities. This workshop is perfect for beginners – but even if you took their previous workshop, you will learn a new, elegant style of binding this time! You’ll warm up by making sewn pamphlets and then move on to the more sophisticated Japanese-style stab binding.

This class is $45 per person and $30 for each additional member of your party. Registration includes all materials and one drink. Adults 21 and older only, please. This event takes place indoors. Starrlight Mead is part of The Plant. The space is wheelchair accessible, with parking and entry available behind the production facility. Additional free parking is available on-site. Pets are not allowed. See all events at Starrlight Mead. See all events at The Plant. Part of the Chatham County Craft Beverages & Country Inns Trail.
