Description

The flatback binding is a basic binding technique that will teach you how to prepare and sew a textblock, line the spine, make a case and case-in a modern book. This will be a fast-paced workshop and depending on the speed of students, a second book may be made. Basic bookbinding terminology, tools, materials, and a short history of binding techniques will be covered, as time permits. The cost of the workshop includes materials, use of shared tools, and handouts. Students are encouraged to bring a small notebook in which to take their own notes.
