Hemp Leaf binding is one form of Japanese Stab Binding. These bindings have a rich tradition that has developed over hundreds of years. In this studio session, participants will create two soft-covered blank books using two variations of this decorative stitching technique. The materials fee will cover waxed linen thread and a variety of papers that will be provided for the covers, end sheets, and insert pages.
Workshop
Soft Cover Coptic Binding
with Margo Klass
Sunday, November 4 10am-4pm
$60 members $75 non-members
$10 materials fee
This workshop is full; waitlist is open
Coptic binding is one of the classic techniques for a bookbinder. Whether you are new to the technique or need a review, this workshop will cover the basics as we create a small but elegant notebook. Papers embellished with stamping inks and stencils will personalize the covers.
IMPRINTS UPDATE
With summer and early fall travel and other adventures behind us, activity on Imprints, our community bookbinding project is resumed. Bruce and Susan recently printed the table of contents, acknowledgements, title page, and colophon pages using polymer plates on Greg Hill's Chamberlain Press. These fresh-off-the-press pages will be added to the already completed literary pages for final binding in the book. Constructing the clamshell casements comes next!
If you are interested in participating in this project, please contact us
here. Announcements of work sessions come to your mailbox as NBG NOTES. If you are already signed up, you will continue to receive these notices.
