Event Description |
This elegant binding style uses heavy weight flax (case paper) to create a natural, flexible book. Sewing is exposed, or visible, on the spine edge and requires no adhesive. By manipulating the number of sections in a book and the type of stitch, whether long or link, endless designs are possible. In this workshop, students will have the opportunity to create two unique exposed spine bindings of their own design. We’ll begin by mapping our designs on graph paper and then learn to transfer them to the book itself through deliberate punching and sewing. Additionally, we’ll discuss how buttons and closures can be worked into the design, as well as different styles of cases and wrappers. |
