A.I.R. Gallery

To coincide with her solo exhibition Sleepwalking, 2023–2024 Fellow Roberta Dorsett will be organizing and hosting a saddle-stitched bookbinding workshop at A.I.R. Gallery.

The bookbinding workshop will teach participants how to create their own saddle-stitched books with thread. Whether you're a seasoned bookbinder or a beginner, this workshop caters to all levels of expertise. It's an excellent opportunity to unleash your creativity or develop a new skill.

Although Dorsett will provide all the necessary materials for book-making, participants are requested to bring their own paper. It is recommended that participants bring 8 ½ x 11-inch drawing paper. Additionally, participants are welcome to bring images or drawings (sized 4 x 5 inches) to place in their books if they wish.

Space is limited. To RSVP, please use this form.
