The Secret Belgian Binding With Hard Back Cover Boards This workshop is designed for participants with or without bookbinding experience. Participants will have the opportunity to make a hardback book that has an elegant and distinctive thread pattern of sewing. This is used to lace the front and back covers to the cover spine piece. The cover is made up of three separate components. The sewing is visible on the outside of the book. Measures are taken in the binding construction, to hide the interior thread on the inside of the covers. The book block/pages are made up of signature folios that are attached in the sewing process to the inside spine of the cover. This binding is robust and durable and allows the book to lie flat when open. All equipment and materials will be provided for the workshop 2. The Drum Leaf Binding with Hard Cover Boards This workshop is designed for participants with or without bookbinding experience. Participants will have the opportunity to make an adhesive based book structure with full-page spreads. The book with hardback covers will open flat and has no stitching through the centre folds. The Drum Leaf Binding structure is ideal for printmakers and photographers, or those presenting visual narratives without the disruption of sewing thread dominating visual continuity in page content. The pages in this book structure are made of single sided folios. This makes the task of printing and layout imposition of page content relatively straightforward. All equipment and materials will be provided for the workshop. |
