Paper Bindings with Exposed Sewing Online Workshop November 17-December 8, 2024.
Paper Bindings with Exposed Sewing
This workshop is not currently scheduled, but it could be in the future. Please contact me if you are interested.
For centuries paper has served as a quick, elegant, and economical covering material for books. This versatile material can create structures ranging from pocket notebooks to conservation friendly bindings to cases durable enough for a heavily-used manual.
Students will craft four binding models:
Multi-Section Pamphlet with flexi flyleaf
Longstitch into paper wrapper with Yapp fore edge
Single station link stitch with decorative guards and self-locking cover
Paper binding sewn on exposed supports
Newer binders will be introduced to basic tools, techniques and materials of the craft. Experienced practitioners will discover how features from multiple bindings can be combined to create a new, custom structure to meet the requirements of any project. All of these structures can be made in a sparsely-equipped home studio with minimal specialized tools or equipment. This attractive set of models, together with detailed handouts, will be a valuable reference and inspiration for future projects.
Note: This is a fast-paced, intermediate-level workshop. Students should be making sewn books independently, outside a workshop setting.
The manual three of these bindings are drawn from is available here.
The online format is a series of live tutorials via Zoom. The tutorials are recorded and the videos are available to registered students for 90 days. Students need not be present for the live sessions. Workshop fee includes supplies and a detailed handout, which are mailed to arrive in time for the first session. Zoom links will be sent the week before class, and a tool list no later than three weeks in advance. Please check your spam filter if you have not received these messages in this timeframe.
Students outside US and Canada please contact me to discuss options for supplies.
Payment in full is due at time of registration. See FAQs for refund policy.
