Paper Marbling and Stab Binding

This class is a little bit science, a little bit chaos, and exactly the kind of creative trouble Bad Dog Arts encourages. You’ll start by making one-of-a-kind marbled papers as colors float on the surface, swirl when nudged, and then—just like that—commit to paper. Then you’ll turn your favorite prints into a handmade book using stab binding, a satisfyingly simple stitching technique that transforms loose pages into something elegant and slightly rebellious. Expect bold patterns, happy accidents, a few well-placed holes, and a finished book you’ll actually want to show off. Perfection not required. Curiosity highly encouraged!
