Registration opening soon through San Francisco Center for the Book
The German three-piece Bradel Binding has an elegant, streamlined look. Unlike the Simplified Binding, the spine is both rounded and backed, and the boards are not shaped at the spine. Our workshop model will feature a spine of thinned leather over a stiffened paper “bonnet,” rolled leather endbands, and boards that are attached to the text block after being covered with decorative paper.
In this workshop students will reinforce their forwarding skills including constructing appropriate endsheets for both attractiveness and secure board attachment, rounding, backing, lining the spine for support vs. aesthetics, paring leather, and how to finesse joins between different materials and layers into invisibility.
