In this class we will make a handmade pamphlet bound edition (multiples) of your very own Zine or Artist's Book

You can also check out the projects section of the class to see photos of the sample project that I make in the videos.

List of materials:

A few sheets of plain letter sized printer paper
A pencil and eraser
A bone folder or other folding tool, or even a dull butter knife
An awl, this is very useful but optional, as you can just use your needle, though it can get tedius
A heavy duty needle
Strong thread, like linen binding thread or heavy duty sewing thread
Beeswax, which will help the thread glide. Some thread comes prewaxed. You can also use a candle you might have laying around
Scissors
Binder clips or paper clips
An x-acto blade and cutting mat
A ruler
Optional different types of papers to use for the covers
Any materials you will need to make your original artwork, this parts up to you

You can find these things at any art supply store but two places that might be interesting to check out are:

Talas http://talasonline.com/, which specializes in book binding materials

and

the French Paper Company http://www.frenchpaper.com/, which sells a large selection of interesting papers that you can use in a copier or printer.
