Please note that while it may seem that we have increased the workshop prices, they remain the same. To make the payment process more straightforward, we are just grouping the material fee to the workshop price (until now, there was two separate payments, the workshop fee and the materials cost).
In order to minimize its impact on our community, we respectfully ask members to be vaccinated for workshops, along with the use of masks when inside. We are reviewing these rules all the time and we thank you for your understanding.

This is used to lace the front and back covers to the cover spine piece. Measures are taken in the binding construction, to hide the interior thread on the inside of the covers. This binding is robust and durable and allows the book to lie flat when open. 2. The Drum Leaf Binding with Hard Cover Boards 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 with full-page spreads . This makes the task of printing and layout imposition of page content relatively straightforward. The adhesive based book with hardback covers will open flat and has no stitching through the centrefolds. All equipment and materials will be provided for the workshop. |
