Criss-Cross Binding
Sunday, September 21st, 2025
11 am - 5 pm
The Crisscross binding was developed by Anne Goy in the 1980s and has been popularized in the US by Hedi Kyle as the Secret Belgian binding. It has seen many variations develop from it’s three-piece cover framework and works well as a sketchbook or journal since the cover lays flat and can even be folded against itself. We will guide participants through the process of making their own book with finished dimensions of 6.5”x4”x3/4”
Tools used in this workshop:
Ruler
Awl
Cutting mat
Utility blade or X-acto
Needles
