Simplified Binding: models
The Simplified Binding developed by Sün Evrard has an elegant, streamlined look. The workshop model features a spine of thinned leather, rolled leather endbands, and boards that are attached to the text block after being covered with decorative paper. Leather hinges finish the interior. Become more comfortable working with leather and explore which features of a binding are necessary for function and protection of the text block, and the additional refinements that can transform a book into an elegant showpiece. Reinforce forwarding skills including rounding, how to line the spine the spine for support vs. aesthetics, and paring leather.
These models were made as demos while teaching a bookbinding workshop. They may include marks or notes made to aid students. Colors and patterns will vary. Cutaway bindings revealing structural features are sometimes available. Likewise completed models may have only one pastedown in place.
Workshop handout not included with model but available separately here: Twelve-page workshop handout with bibliography plus tool and supply list. Please note this handout was written not to replace but to supplement an in-person workshop demo.
