Over the course of the workshop, you'll learn the art of hand-stitching, working with a single continuous line to bring a design of your choosing to life on the notebook cover. Guided every step of the way by the MD PRODUCT team, you'll practice the technique before applying it to your own A5 Thick Square MD PRODUCT Notebook, finishing with an embroidered detail that makes the piece entirely your own.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eIn preparation for the workshop, please save some photos of your favourite motifs to your phone. You will select a motif to work with that will be what the final design will be based on. Simple designs work best. All other supplies will be provided and you'll leave with a one-of-a-kind notebook, hand-stitched by you, guided by the very team behind MD notebooks in Tokyo.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Instructor:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003eTaiyo has been a part of MD PAPER PRODUCTS since its launch in 2008, joining the team as a designer and helping shape the brand’s distinctive approach from the very beginning. Today, he leads product development and plans exhibition and event spaces for MD PRODUCT which relaunched this January, creating many of the thoughtful and memorable installations that have been featured at MD PRODUCT events around the world.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"UTF-8\"\u003eAt the heart of Taiyo’s work is a deep appreciation for the quiet moments that paper can create. Inspired by the texture of paper and the brand concept of Yohaku—reflective margins in time\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e—he approaches design with a philosophy of “subtractive design,” carefully removing rather than adding. This allows the natural qualities of the materials, and the creativity of the user, to take centre stage.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan\u003eKnown for his thoughtful approach and genuine humility, Taiyo brings both creativity and care to everything he designs.
