    ONLINE: Blizzard Book with Andrew Huot

     

    This workshop will teach you to make the Blizzard Book, a sculptural book structure invented by book artist Hedi Kyle.

    Using only folded paper, this book makes pages and pockets that can hold small paper items.

    Using the form of the blizzard book, we will make the Crown Book. This form gives support and a codex binding for individual folios or accordion books.

    We will discuss the proportions and options for using this structure.

    Andrew Huot is a book artist, bookbinder, printer, and conservator in Scarborough, ON, where he operates Big River Bindery, a studio for bookmaking, letterpress printing, and book conservation. He holds a Masters in Book Arts from the University of the Arts in Philadelphia and a BS in Printmaking from Portland State University.

    His artists’ books use photographs, linoleum cuts, and text to share the humorous side of everyday life around us. His artists’ books are in collections across the country, from the Art Institute of Chicago to Yale University. Andrew teaches online and in his own studio, taught at the University of Illinois School of Information Science and workshops across the US and in Canada at CBBAG, the John C Campbell Folk School, Book Arts LA, the International Preservation Studies Center, and the Guild of Book Workers, among others.

    ONLINE: Book Arts: Realm of Solids with Paula Beardell Krieg

    The ability to construct well-crafted solids opens up a world of possibilities within all areas of paper arts. We start with placing the study of solids in historical context, referencing the concepts developed centuries ago by Plato and Lui Hiu, and will move forward in time to modern masters such as Franz Zeier and Tomoko Fuse.

    The language and classification of solid forms will be introduced. Their surprising attributes will be explored in ways that are simply delightful. The study of solids invites entry into a realm of puzzles, surprising transformations, and striking visuals.  Discussions will include methods of incorporating interior lights, examining how solid forms invite inclusion of non-linear content, and ways of transforming solids into enclosures.

    All students will be sent PDFs prior to the workshop date.

    Paula Beardell Krieg (she/her) has been a paper enthusiast for as long as she can remember, taking particular delight in 3D paper transformations. For thirty years she collaborated regularly with classroom teachers to create engaging and dynamic projects for all age groups.

    Her adult workshops have taken place on zoom in and person both locally and in person at institutions ranging from the Metropolitan Museum of Art, Center for Book Arts, the Museum of Mathematics, and small local venues.

    Krieg regular shows her work at the Bridges Mathematics and the Arts Exhibitions, has had her work published in numerous books including ones by Helen Hiebert and Diane Mauer, and, since 2009, has written about paper and book arts on her blog Bookzoompa which is located at: https://bookzoompa.wordpress.com/

    ONLINE: Printing WITHOUT a Press with Andrew Huot

    You don’t need heavy equipment or a big press to make prints for an edition or exchange.

    No printing press, no problem!

    Andrew is organizing a Valentine’s Day print exchange and this is a great way to get ideas! 

    CBBAG is happy to offer a refund of the workshop fee for any member who participates in the valentine exchange project! 

    Refunds will be completed during the first two weeks of March.

    ONLINE: Pop Up Tunnel Book with Kit Davey

    Each page of this book has a flat mini tunnel book which is revealed when you unlock the tab and lift it up.

    Five layers, or frames, give you opportunities to attach images to create depth. 

    When you flatten the tunnel and slip it back under the tab it goes back into hiding. 

    Video of the book in action!

    Kit Davey is a Redwood City, California-based artist specializing in book art.  Her work pushes the boundaries of “bookness” by using unusual materials such as mica, acetate, flattened coins and teabags as pages, and making book covers from shells, coins, driftwood, rulers, buttons, and acetate.  Kit has taught over 70 different book structures, holding her classes by Zoom so students the world over can join her.  Her work is available on her website Found-Object-Art.com and at SF Bay Area art events.  She makes a book a day and shares them on Instagram:  @daveykit

    ONLINE: The Girdle Book with Anna Yevtukh

    Learn how to create the quirky Medieval Girdle Book with all its traditional features.

    This course will be packed with interesting information and practical knowledge. It's designed for anyone interested in the medieval history from bookbinding point of view and will require some usual professional bookbinding equipment like sewing frame and finishing press. Work arounds will be offered explaining what you can use instead if you don’t have a sewing frame or finishing press.

    Girdle Books were small portable books worn by medieval European monks and aristocrats as a popular accessory between the 13th and 16th century in a narrow area from Netherlands to the Upper Rhine Valley.

    Your book will have all traditional Girdle book structural features like sewn on double cords, wooden boards, strap & pin closure, corner bosses, traditional headbands, and of course long tail extension and a Turk's head knot at the end of it.

    There might be some homework between sessions. Registrants can work along with Anna, watch the live session, or just watch the videos later.

    Anna Yevtukh is a member of the Society of Bookbinders, Designer Bookbinders and the local Guild of Designer Craftsmen who studied art and bookbinding in Ukraine and has been utilising these skills to build her handmade books since 1998. Anna is Ukrainian but has been permanently based in Worcester, UK since June 2006.

    Basing her ethos on the fact that ‘’books should not merely be perceived as a means from which to read or write within’’, Anna’s artistic view to bookbinding allows her to create pieces of book art that are not only constructed with passion and flare to the highest quality but that are completely unique and personal.

    Anna conducted various bookbinding, book arts and book conservation workshops and courses across the UK since 2007 and also teaches online for the last 4 years. She was a bookbinding tutor at Malvern School of Art from 2011 until 2021.

    ONLINE: Book Arts: The Secret Lives of Cubes with Paula Beardell Krieg

    The cube is a shape that keeps on giving.

    Learning about and constructing three dimensional structures opens up as many possibilities as you can imagine. This workshop, full of play and whimsy, begins with a basic, common cube.

    From this simple starting point, we will peer into the vast and fascinating universe of possibilities that can be embedded in just one solid shape while, at the same time, gain insights on how to wander through the studying of solids to make your discoveries. Prepare to be surprised by the many secrets embedded in a simple cube.

    Although this workshop builds on the material introduced in the Realm of Solids workshop, Secret Lives of Cubes is a stand-alone class. 

    Black and White PDFs will be emailed to all students as part of the class.

    Paula Beardell Krieg (she/her) has been a paper enthusiast for as long as she can remember, taking particular delight in 3D paper transformations. For thirty years she collaborated regularly with classroom teachers to create engaging and dynamic projects for all age groups.

    Her adult workshops have taken place on zoom in and person both locally and in person at institutions ranging from the Metropolitan Museum of Art, Center for Book Arts, the Museum of Mathematics, and small local venues.

    Krieg regular shows her work at the Bridges Mathematics and the Arts Exhibitions, has had her work published in numerous books including ones by Helen Hiebert and Diane Mauer, and, since 2009, has written about paper and book arts on her blog Bookzoompa which is located at: https://bookzoompa.wordpress.com/

      ONLINE:  Accordion with a Hard Case with Andrew Huot

      The accordion book structure is a great option when making books, it opens wide to view the entire book and has no sewing or imposition. 

      The problem comes when you want to protect and present it. 

      A hard cover is just the answer, but how to put it together. 

      In this workshop we’ll be making an accordion and a cover and exploring how to pair these elements for a readable and protected book.

      Andrew Huot is a book artist, bookbinder, printer, and conservator in Scarborough, ON, where he operates Big River Bindery, a studio for bookmaking, letterpress printing, and book conservation. He holds a Masters in Book Arts from the University of the Arts in Philadelphia and a BS in Printmaking from Portland State University.

      His artists’ books use photographs, linoleum cuts, and text to share the humorous side of everyday life around us. His artists’ books are in collections across the country, from the Art Institute of Chicago to Yale University. Andrew teaches online and in his own studio, taught at the University of Illinois School of Information Science and workshops across the US and in Canada at CBBAG, the John C Campbell Folk School, Book Arts LA, the International Preservation Studies Center, and the Guild of Book Workers, among others.

      Mentor:  Barbara Helander

      Location: ONLINE using the Thinkific platform and Zoom

      Online workshop access starts: April 6, 2026

      Duration: 8 months April - December 2026

      Prerequisite: none

      MAXIMUM ENROLLMENT: 10 students

      Registration closes January 26, 2026, 11:59 PM

      Prior to registration, all interested participants must read this pdf which details the guidelines and expectations of the Guided Stream of the Home Study Programme. Registration for the workshop functions a formal agreement to these guidelines, whether or not they have been read.

      Bookbinding 1 is the first workshop in CBBAG’s core curriculum and introduces the variety of tools, materials, sewings, and constructions fundamental to hand bookbinding.

      Using the Thinkific online teaching platform, the workshop is a series of lecture-style videos, direct demonstration videos, and how-to pdfs housed into modules. The workshop will start with the making of a simple pamphlet and proceed to the binding of two hard cover books.

      Using an online platform allows Mentors to have easy interaction with participants and allows participants to connect and support each other by encouraging discussion, questions and sharing of ideas. There will be a total of 4 Zoom meetings, during which the Mentor will lead a review of the group's project submissions, discuss challenges, and answer questions, emulating the in-person workshop more closely.

      CBBAG will be providing a project materials kit to registrants as part of the workshop fee (postage will be extra).

      The Guided Stream has requires participants to submit their completed projects by postal mail to their Mentor and this online environment allows for better feedback with live Zoom meetings to review submissions and for the whole group to learn together, mimicking the in-person workshop more closely. In total, participants will work through more than 15 individual projects, with 3 sets of submissions spanning 8 months with new modules opening up every 7-8 weeks. Participants are responsible for postage for all the submissions, to and return and is payable to the mentor directly.

      The online, 24/7 delivery of the workshop is designed for an independent type of learner who needs a flexible schedule for learning and is unlikely to be able to attend an in-person workshop.

      Successful completion of Bookbinding 1 in the Guided Stream qualifies participants to take in-person workshops that require Bookbinding 1 as a prerequisite.

      Barbara Helander has a B.Ed. and an M.Sc.; for 35 years, she put these credentials into action in the apparel industry. During this time, Barb earned her Certificate of Completion, became a CBBAG core curriculum instructor, and a mentor for the Home Study program. Now retired, Barb has time to focus on her love of the book arts. She recently transformed BB1 Home Study into virtual learning and has been the coordinator for the Kindred Spirits travelling book arts exhibition. Her website can be found here: https://bookartsbarb.com and her Instagram handle is @bookartsbarb

      Note for applicants with United States mailing addresses:  As of August 2025, the US government has removed the de minimis exemption for custom duties on shipments to the US.

      CBBAG regrets that as of September 2025, registrations from US-based applicants for Bookbinding 1 in the Guided Stream of Home Study will not be accepted into the programme,, as it requires packages to be shipped across the border.

      Because CBBAG is unable to prevent US residents from registering, due to system limitations, any of US-based registrations will be cancelled and fully refunded.

      ONLINE: Cute as a Button Book with Anna Yevtukh

      Learn how to create your own miniature book (5 cm diameter) that is cute as a button!

      Join us for a fun and crafty workshop! 

      Anna Yevtukh is a member of the Society of Bookbinders, Designer Bookbinders and the local Guild of Designer Craftsmen who studied art and bookbinding in Ukraine and has been utilising these skills to build her handmade books since 1998. Anna is Ukrainian but has been permanently based in Worcester, UK since June 2006.

      Basing her ethos on the fact that ‘’books should not merely be perceived as a means from which to read or write within’’, Anna’s artistic view to bookbinding allows her to create pieces of book art that are not only constructed with passion and flare to the highest quality but that are completely unique and personal.

      Anna conducted various bookbinding, book arts and book conservation workshops and courses across the UK since 2007 and also teaches online for the last 4 years. She was a bookbinding tutor at Malvern School of Art from 2011 until 2021.

      ONLINE: Tapestry Book with Anna Yevtukh

      Join us for a fun and creative online workshop where you'll learn how to create your own handmade journal featuring a beautiful, embroidered spine.

      Discover this mix of the art of bookbinding and embroidery to create a unique journal.

      No prior experience is needed, just bring your enthusiasm and creativity!

      Anna Yevtukh is a member of the Society of Bookbinders, Designer Bookbinders and the local Guild of Designer Craftsmen who studied art and bookbinding in Ukraine and has been utilising these skills to build her handmade books since 1998. Anna is Ukrainian but has been permanently based in Worcester, UK since June 2006.

      Basing her ethos on the fact that ‘’books should not merely be perceived as a means from which to read or write within’’, Anna’s artistic view to bookbinding allows her to create pieces of book art that are not only constructed with passion and flare to the highest quality but that are completely unique and personal.

      Anna conducted various bookbinding, book arts and book conservation workshops and courses across the UK since 2007 and also teaches online for the last 4 years. She was a bookbinding tutor at Malvern School of Art from 2011 until 2021.

      ONLINE: 360 degrees Radial Hinge Circular Book with Kit Davey

      The circular pages of this book rotate 360 degrees because of the unusual radial hinges that connect them. 

      The pages can be extended to create a caterpillar-look and then rotated back into a stack of circles. 

      We’ll also make a quick hinged case to contain your book.

      Video of the book in action!

      Kit Davey is a Redwood City, California-based artist specializing in book art.  Her work pushes the boundaries of “bookness” by using unusual materials such as mica, acetate, flattened coins and teabags as pages, and making book covers from shells, coins, driftwood, rulers, buttons, and acetate.  Kit has taught over 70 different book structures, holding her classes by Zoom so students the world over can join her.  Her work is available on her website Found-Object-Art.com and at SF Bay Area art events.  She makes a book a day and shares them on Instagram:  @daveykit

      ONLINE: Long Stitch Binding with Andrew Huot

      In this workshop, students will learn to make a long stitch binding. This book was common from the 13th to the 16th century as simple binding for scholars and to assemble manuscript books.

      The sections of the book are connected directly to the covering material, showing off the structure of the sewing while attaching the pages to the cover.

      Andrew Huot is a book artist, bookbinder, printer, and conservator in Scarborough, ON, where he operates Big River Bindery, a studio for bookmaking, letterpress printing, and book conservation. He holds a Masters in Book Arts from the University of the Arts in Philadelphia and a BS in Printmaking from Portland State University.

      His artists’ books use photographs, linoleum cuts, and text to share the humorous side of everyday life around us. His artists’ books are in collections across the country, from the Art Institute of Chicago to Yale University. Andrew teaches online and in his own studio, taught at the University of Illinois School of Information Science and workshops across the US and in Canada at CBBAG, the John C Campbell Folk School, Book Arts LA, the International Preservation Studies Center, and the Guild of Book Workers, among others.

      ONLINE: Weaving a Story Book with Anna Yevtukh

      Join us for a creative journey into bookbinding where you'll learn to ‘weave stories’ into handmade journals - let your creativity flow!

      Craft your own unique journal from scratch using traditional bookbinding techniques with a unique exposed sewing on supports.

      Anna Yevtukh is a member of the Society of Bookbinders, Designer Bookbinders and the local Guild of Designer Craftsmen who studied art and bookbinding in Ukraine and has been utilising these skills to build her handmade books since 1998. Anna is Ukrainian but has been permanently based in Worcester, UK since June 2006.

      Basing her ethos on the fact that ‘’books should not merely be perceived as a means from which to read or write within’’, Anna’s artistic view to bookbinding allows her to create pieces of book art that are not only constructed with passion and flare to the highest quality but that are completely unique and personal.

      Anna conducted various bookbinding, book arts and book conservation workshops and courses across the UK since 2007 and also teaches online for the last 4 years. She was a bookbinding tutor at Malvern School of Art from 2011 until 2021.

      Online workshop access starts: November 2, 2026

      Duration: 8 months November 2026 - July 2027

      MAXIMUM ENROLLMENT: 10 students

      Registration closes August 24, 2026, 11:59 PM

      Prior to registration, all interested participants must read this pdf which details the guidelines and expectations of the Guided Stream of the Home Study Programme. Registration for the workshop functions a formal agreement to these guidelines, whether or not they have been read.

      Bookbinding 1 is the first workshop in CBBAG’s core curriculum and introduces the variety of tools, materials, sewings, and constructions fundamental to hand bookbinding.

      Using the Thinkific online teaching platform, the workshop is a series of lecture-style videos, direct demonstration videos, and how-to pdfs housed into modules. The workshop will start with the making of a simple pamphlet and proceed to the binding of two hard cover books.

      Using an online platform allows Mentors to have easy interaction with participants and allows participants to connect and support each other by encouraging discussion, questions and sharing of ideas. There will be a total of 4 Zoom meetings, during which the Mentor will lead a review of the group's project submissions, discuss challenges, and answer questions, emulating the in-person workshop more closely.

      CBBAG will be providing a project materials kit to registrants as part of the workshop fee (postage will be extra).

      The Guided Stream has requires participants to submit their completed projects by postal mail to their Mentor and this online environment allows for better feedback with live Zoom meetings to review submissions and for the whole group to learn together, mimicking the in-person workshop more closely. In total, participants will work through more than 15 individual projects, with 3 sets of submissions spanning 8 months with new modules opening up every 7-8 weeks. Participants are responsible for postage for all the submissions, to and return and is payable to the mentor directly.

      The online, 24/7 delivery of the workshop is designed for an independent type of learner who needs a flexible schedule for learning and is unlikely to be able to attend an in-person workshop.

      Successful completion of Bookbinding 1 in the Guided Stream qualifies participants to take in-person workshops that require Bookbinding 1 as a prerequisite.

      Barbara Helander has a B.Ed. and an M.Sc.; for 35 years, she put these credentials into action in the apparel industry. During this time, Barb earned her Certificate of Completion, became a CBBAG core curriculum instructor, and a mentor for the Home Study program. Now retired, Barb has time to focus on her love of the book arts. She recently transformed BB1 Home Study into virtual learning and has been the coordinator for the Kindred Spirits travelling book arts exhibition.

      Note for applicants with United States mailing addresses:  As of August 2025, the US government has removed the de minimis exemption for custom duties on shipments to the US.

      CBBAG regrets that as of September 2025, registrations from US-based applicants for Bookbinding 1 in the Guided Stream of Home Study will not be accepted into the programme,, as it requires packages to be shipped across the border.

      Because CBBAG is unable to prevent US residents from registering, due to system limitations, any of US-based registrations will be cancelled and fully refunded.
