Natural Book Cloth Making

Learn how to create old school style book cloth in an afternoon with water based techniques that have survived the test of time. Bring a 14” X 18” medium to thin weight natural fiber piece of cloth that has been ironed flat. (Think quilting muslin or vintage cloth like sheets, clothes, table clothes, or curtains.) We will turn it into a piece of book cloth ready to begin a new life as a book! Please register early to ensure quantities of supplies.

Arrestox book cloth is a 100% cotton material with a subtle, water based acrylic coating that makes it resistant to abrasion, stains, moisture, and tearing. It has long been considered the standard book cloth. It works well with PVA and other traditional glues. We recommend you order our sample books for exact colors and textures. Order by the sheet as listed below. Also, available on a 54" wide roll - minimum order is 10 yards.
