Pamphlets with a Punch

Who says a pamphlet has to play it safe? In this lively workshop, we’ll transform the humble pamphlet stitch binding into a playground of engineered surprises—adding folds, cutouts, and inventive combinations of bindings that turn simple structures into dynamic storytelling forms. Discover how small shifts in design can pack a big punch, creating books that move, reveal, and delight. Open to all levels—bring your curiosity and a spirit of experimentation (and any unconventional materials that inspire you). This Zoom workshop includes a materials kit designed to make your session engaging, hands-on, and easy to follow—while leaving plenty of room for experimentation and for your own good ideas to roam free afterwards.

As an organization based in Tacoma, Washington, we acknowledge the Puyallup Tribe and invite you to visit the official web site of the Puyallup and listen to their land acknowledgement statement. We acknowledge that we are on the traditional homelands of the Puyallup Tribe. The Puyallup people have lived on and stewarded these lands since the beginning of time, and continue to do so today. We recognize that this land acknowledgement is one small step toward true allyship and we commit to uplifting the voices, experiences, and histories of the Indigenous people of this land and beyond.

We also encourage you to view the presentation of Amber Hayward and Paige Pettibon of the Puyallup Tribal Language Program, joined by Jessica Spring, local printer, that is available from our YouTube Channel.
