Books are an ancient form of technology that has remained central to human culture for thousands of years. While the emergence of eBooks, the internet and word-processing tools have replaced some of the functions of the book, many of us still prefer to use physical notebooks and read printed books. Join us to learn about the basic elements of book binding and come away with three notebooks that you have created yourself. While we will explore traditional methods of book binding and decoration, we will also discuss ways to incorporate emerging technologies like 3D printing and digital die cutting (available in the Technology Sandbox) into the process. This introductory workshop is open to all. By the end of the workshop, you will be able to execute saddle-stitch binding, Japanese stab stitch binding, and Coptic binding. All materials will be provided. The workshop is designed to create blank notebooks, but we also encourage participants to attend our Zine Making Basics workshop (January 30) and use the techniques learned in this session to create covers for their zines.

Zines are an accessible, easy to assemble publishing format with a rich history of activism, counterculture, and creativity. They can contain writing, artwork, and collage on any subject and have been embraced by communities as wide ranging as science fiction fans, comic book artists and feminist punk movements. This introductory workshop is open to anyone in any discipline curious about zines and zine-making. In addition to playing with the analogue processes involved in traditional zine-making, we will also explore ways of integrating emerging technologies like the tools available in the Technology Sandbox.
This workshop is designed to bring awareness to current and future researchers of the impact of research on Indigenous communities, collectives and organizations.
