For centuries paper has served as a quick, elegant, and economical covering material for books. This versatile material can create structures ranging from pocket notebooks to conservation friendly bindings to a case durable enough for a heavily-used manual.
In this two-day workshop we will explore both basic and more complex paper bindings ranging from a simple pamphlet-stitched notebook to a journal with minimalist, linear decorative sewing to a sturdy paper case with lightweight but rigid covers.
New binders will be introduced to basic tools, techniques and materials of the craft. Experienced practitioners will discover how features from multiple bindings can be combined to create a new, custom structure to met the requirements of any project. All of these structures can be made in a sparsely-equipped home studio with minimal specialized tools or equipment.
This attractive set of models, together with detailed handouts, will be a valuable reference and inspiration for future projects.
