Bookbinding Weekends

BOOKBINDING WORKSHOPS WEEKEND —- This is for participants who want to take both the Bookbinding I & II workshops in the same weekend. You must take both classes. —- Level I (Saturday, 9am-3pm): Participants will take home a blank book they create in class, using the methods that were employed from about the first century through the mid 19th century. They will hand-sew the book sections (called signatures); secure the hard covers; add a leather or cloth spine, and decorative paper, to the covers; and lay down the endpapers. Participants will also be provided step-by-step written instructions they can take home. Level II (Sunday, 9am-3pm): This is an advanced class only for participants who have taken the introductory Bookbinding I workshop. Participants will take home a fully leather-bound book. They will learn new techniques not taught in the basic course such as Rounding & Backing and Headbanding. All materials are included, and tools will be provided. Cost per Person: $300/Adult (Age 14 and Up). Class size is limited to 6 people. Participants must be over the age of 14. Participants under 18 must be accompanied by an adult.
