Upper School Intersession 2025

From Cover to Cover: A Book Arts Workshop is an exploration into the world of handmade books and the artistry of bookbinding. In this workshop, students will discover various bookmaking techniques, from folding and stitching to creating unique covers and personalized pages. Through guided instruction, participants will learn the basics of bookbinding, explore different materials and tools, and design their own one-of-a-kind books that tell a story or express a theme.
This workshop encourages students to think beyond traditional books, blending elements of art, design, and storytelling to craft an expressive final piece. Whether they’re interested in journaling, illustrating, or simply creating a personal keepsake, students will leave with a deeper appreciation of the book as an art form—along with a finished book that’s uniquely theirs from cover to cover.
