# Event Details - **Event Name**: Long-stitch Bookbinding: the Medieval Paperback || with Anneka Baird - **Event Start and End Date**: Fri, 14 Nov, 2025 at 09:00 am – Fri, 14 Nov, 2025 at 12:30 pm - **Event Description**: The Long-stitch has been used as far back as the 14th century as a stationary binding and as a temporary binding for books with more elaborate (and expensive) futures. This simple multi-section structure allows for a virtually unlimited number of pages and is well-suited for sketchbooks, notebooks and journals. It is also a popular structure for artists' books as the spine lends itself readily to decoration. In addition to binding a book (or two, if time permits) you will learn some basic bookbinding terms, understand quality and anatomy of paper and how to use it to best effect, and techniques for folding and cutting paper. This class is an excellent option for first-time book-binders. Date: Friday, November 14, 2025 Time: 9:00 AM - 12:30 PM Ages: 12+ Materials Fees: $25 Location: People's Food Co-op, La Crosse, WI Instructions: This class will take place indoors and all tools will be provided.
