Japanese Stab Binding
Japanese Stab Binding is exactly what it sounds like. Books are bound together after the binder stabs holes along the left spine and sews thread through the holes to bind the book. It can be the standard 4-Hole Japanese Stab Binding called "Yotsume Toji" that Jane taught us last year or it can be more intricate in design like the Hemp Leaf Binding or "Asa-No-Ha Toji".
Jane Matsumoto will be showing you how to create a simple Inner Binding to hold the inside pages together as well as the Noble Binding or "Koki Toji" along with the Hemp Leaf Binding.

"The faculty and students of Kalli Camp Academy have created a remarkable community of lettering artists and calligraphers; when I chat with a teacher or fellow classmate online, it feels like talking to a friend. The instruction is solid, and the instructors are fast to connect when students reach out. The best part about joining the Kallicamp community has been the constant encouragement that I've received as I've found my path as a new calligrapher."
