BOOKBINDING: EXPOSED SPINE BINDINGS

Exposed Spine Bindings are a lovely way to showcase your hand sewn books. Multi-signature bindings Coptic Stitch, French Link Stitch, and Long Stitch will be the subject of this two evening course. Students will come away with three completed books.

Using demonstration, examples, diagrams and lots of individual attention students are guided through the creation of three hand-sewn books. Use of bookbinding tools and a variety of book cover structures will also be demonstrated.

Students’ tool kit should include:

• scissors
• paper trimmer
• ruler
• pencil
• bone folder
• paper piercing tool
• piercing mat

There is a $20.00 materials fee payable to the instructor.
