Paper Marbling & Paste Papers
About
A one-day class covering two classic ways of decorating paper for bookbinding: marbling on a bath and brushing patterned paste papers. It runs Saturday, Dec 5, 10am–4pm, at the Austin Book Arts Center, 5501 N Lamar Blvd, Ste C125 (MetroRapid 801 runs along North Lamar nearby). The center doesn't publish a price on the workshop listing. An open marbling studio day also runs here on Oct 31.

New to bookbinding?
A bookbinding class takes you from folded paper to a finished book — a stitched notebook, a journal or a hardcover — and teaches one or two binding structures along the way.
- Pamphlet and coptic stitch are common first projects; case binding takes longer.
- Quiet, precise work with a bone folder, awl and needle. Good for people who like detail.
- Most materials are included; some classes let you bring a cover fabric or paper you love.
Taking it home: The same day, sometimes pressed flat under weight for a night first.
