Ruth Brown: Traditional Japanese pouch book

In this workshop we’ll be making a Japanese pouch book using traditional techniques and a mix of traditional and modern materials. This elegant book utilises an inner binding for strength and to aid longevity, as well as a beautiful, sewn, outer binding and corner caps. In addition to the pouch book we will make samples of several traditional sewing patterns, and learning how to design and develop custom sewing patterns.
