Making Miniature Books

We had a fun time today making a batch of miniature books! Joe Landry and Katherine Victoria Taylor put together some great kits and brought all the necessary tools, glue, and materials so that everyone could go home with a finished little book ornament. Thank you Joe and Katherine!


We started out with this little kit, complete with candy cane. It included some beautiful chiyogami paper, blank pages for the textblock, boards, spine linings, and thread. In the end, everyone had a fancy little book suitable to be used as a holiday ornament. Great job, everybody!

Workshop: Miniature Books

As part of the Book Club exhibit at Hermes Gallery in Halifax, our group held a bookbinding workshop at the gallery this past weekend. Participants each handbound their own miniature book featuring the text of The Raven by Edgar Allan Poe.

The workshop was conducted by Rhonda Miller, who prepared this tiny textblock specifically for this session, and provided each participant with a little kit ready for the making.


Voila, a tiny edition of tiny books!
