| Event Description |
Explore double book structures and forms, where two books can be bound together in a variety of ways, and with a variety of techniques. The tête- bêche, or “head to toe” binding, incorporates two texts that share a spine with no back cover but two front covers, instead. The dos-à-dos binding (“back to back”) and the French door binding (“side by side”) both share the back cover board, but in very different ways. These structures provide many options for the binder and book artist, and allow two texts to relate to each other in a variety of ways. In this two day class, we will complete three books: an accordion style tête-bêche binding, the dos-à-dos binding sewn with a link stitch, and the French door structure sewn on tapes. Along the way, we will discuss how each structure can be used to enhance or contrast texts, and how the structure of the book can change the way the texts relate to each other. Prior binding experience is helpful, but not necessary for this class. |
