The OT301 has been squatted (1999) and bought (2006) by a diverse, international community that is united in an association called EHBK. We run this alternative, not-for-profit platform as a collective, in which housing, workspaces and public functions are combined to contribute to the arts, politics and subculture.

Suitable for beginners. During this workshop participants will learn how to fold, cut and manipulate paper, and will master three versatile book structures – the pamphlet, the concertina, and the Japanese stab binding – which can be used to present work, to personalise and give as gifts, or as the basis for artists’ books.
On completion of the workshop, participants will leave with a set of their own books and the skills to make more at home using minimal equipment.
Introduction to Bookbinding 1 is the first in a three-part series of introductory bookbinding workshops at 4bid.

You are encouraged, but not required, to take all three workshops in order. Participants to Introduction to Bookbinding 2 will benefit from techniques learned in '1,' and likewise participants to '3' will benefit from techniques learned in '2.' For a complete beginner, taking all three workshops in order will give you a good foundation in bookbinding.
