In the eight week into the module of visual exploration 2: colour story, we experimented and explored different types of book binding specifically stitch binding. Stitch binding can create books, sketchbooks and folders with a variety of different types of paper and thread. There are a number of different examples including;
- Saddle stitch
- Coptic binding
- Japanese stab stitching
- Case bound book binding
- Kettle stitch
- Pamphlet stitch
In our session, we experimented with creating a Japanese stab stitched sketchbook using recycled paper, waxed thread, two clips, a needle and an awl. This particular stitch doesn't require folding of paper and utilises waxed thread to ensure its strength, grip and prevents tangling when stitching.
