CLOSED Sewn Boards Binding
CLOSED Sewn Boards Binding
A Book Binding Course For All Levels
Saturday, November 16th
10am-6pm
This book structure opens flat, making it a good choice for journals and sketchbooks.
Sewn boards is an excellent structure for new binders. You will work with common bookbinding tools, materials, techniques, and principles such as grain direction, tidy application of adhesive, and measuring one component of the book to fit another.
Art is more fun with friends! Sign up together, and you each get $25 dollars off.
The Sewn Boards binding is a modern adaptation of an ancient board attachment method. It can be dressed up or down with a variety of spine treatments, board-covering materials, and edge decoration techniques. It can be constructed quickly, lends itself to edition work, and can be made in a sparsely equipped home studio.
Please bring the following with you:
