Beginning Bookbinding—Traditional Structures: For brand new students or even regulars who want a refresher in the basics, this structured class will cover a series of introductory level subjects. Students will learn all about the various equipment in the studio and how to use it, as well as necessary materials, supplies, resources and techniques involved in beginning bookbinding as you learn to create unique and beautiful books. Class projects include several bindings from simple pamphlets to albums and multi-section hardcover bindings. Experienced students will have an opportunity to explore more advanced bookbinding, such as advanced case bindings using leather, and modern adaptations of non-adhesive bindings. Pursuit of individual interests is encouraged and developed through class and individual projects. Beginners should contact the instructor for a list of supplies.
