Biblio Tech in person workshop.
Biblio Tech: reverse engineering historical and modern binding structures (with a focus on board attachment)
This workshop is not currently scheduled, but it could be in the future. Please contact me if you are interested.
Students will create ten binding structure models. These models will remain unfinished so the engineering remains visible for future reference.
Structures include: Tacketed binding, Crossed Structure, Ethiopian, Medieval, Laced-on boards, Scaleboard, Split Board, Case Binding, Sewn Boards, Non-Adhesive Paper Case.
Note: This is a fast-paced, advanced-level workshop for students experienced with traditional binding. To complete the material in the time scheduled, it is essential that students should be proficient in constructing reinforced endsheets, marking up, sewing on a variety of supports, rounding, backing, measuring for and applying spine linings. Students should be making sewn books independently, outside a workshop setting. Some homework may be required between sessions.
Please contact me if you are unsure if this workshop is the right fit for your current skills, or an appropriate stretch if you're ready for your next challenge.
Workshop fee includes all supplies. Paper for the text blocks will be mailed in advance to be folded and pressed.
This workshop requires a dremel or drill, plane or rasp, and a 1/4" chisel. Students who will not be flying are encouraged to bring their own sewing frame and finishing press.
A forty-five page illustrated guide outlining key structural features of each binding, and providing numerous references for further study is available, print on demand from Lulu.com.
