It’s a non-adhesive binding with a thick board cover, exposed sewing, and a “window” on the spine. The name comes from the classic buttonhole embroidery stitch, which is the pattern used in the book’s binding to create a distinct, decorative edge. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe sewing pattern is straightforward but yields impressive results. The buttonhole binding is also one of the more versatile book structures to add to your tool box. Wait until you see some of the interesting variations! Kristen describes how you can easily change up the book as she teaches the basic structure. We were particularly taken with variations where the “window” on the spine is cut into different shapes or extended into the covers. It’s also easy to alter the character of the book by changing the color of the waxed linen thread used for the binding or to add colored endpages as an accent.  \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eYou’ll leave class with a completed book and inspiring ideas for the next one.

Two Hands Paperie will retain a $10 processing fee for EACH class cancelled by a participant. After 14 days, there is no refund or credit. In addition, the fee for a class cancelled within this 14-day timeframe by a participant cannot be transferred to pay for another class. These policies are to ensure that teachers are compensated for their investment in materials and in time spent preparing for the class. We reserve the right to cancel a class if fewer than 3 students enroll 48 hours prior to the scheduled class time. If for any reason Two Hands Paperie cancels a class, students will be called at the phone number on file and refunded the FULL class fee.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eInstructor Bio\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003eKristen Law Lewis was bitten by the book-bug in the last semester of her undergrad Studio Art studies at University of Colorado. She’s made all kinds of books since - founding Papercuts Press in 2005. She later pursued artifact conservation, a second love, and earned a degree in Museum Studies. Kristen mixes her time between sculpture, bookmaking, teaching, and caring for museum collections. She has taught bookbinding classes since 2007 and brings a gentle, engaging, and informative approach to guiding class projects.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e\"My work is largely driven by materials and process.
