Courses are listed in alphabetical order by class title. 8 x 11 : Making Books in the Classroom
Elegant, simply assembled book structures can be made with the papers that you have in your classroom right now. In this two-day workshop Krieg will walk you through the steps of both making and effectively teaching a variety of book structures that will nicely showcase the talent of your budding authors. Projects shown will include the origami-folded pamphlets, accordion books, books with pockets and pop-ups, and rubber band and shoelace bindings. Decorative techniques, inventive ways of inserting drawing and text, and ways of integrating book content with structure will also be presented. Curriculum related sample books will be on hand to direct and inspire you.November 13 & 14, Saturday and Sunday, 10 am - 4 pm Paula Beardell Krieg $220/$245 All About the Accordion
The accordion is perhaps the most versatile structure in the world of bookbinding. As a full-page spread or as a minutely pleated piece of paper, it displays both pictures and words in an immediate and Zen-like game of mountains and valleys. We will spend two days folding and sewing, and occasionally dipping into a bowl of paste, as we construct a set of five small models. Beginners welcome.October 30 & 31, Saturday and Sunday 10am 4pm Barbara Mauriello $220/$245 Artist's Books: Alternative Structures
This class is ideal for those students interested in exploring their own personal vision through traditional and alternative book making methods. Each student will create a personal narrative by using paper, cloth and 3-dimensional objects. Alternative structures will be explored in conjunction with stamping, stenciling and various surface treatments. To my fellow "pack-rats", I encourage you to bring all of those miscellaneous items to enhance your personal vision. Found images, text and objects will also be available during class. All levels welcome.October 6- November 10, six Wednesday nights, 6 - 9pm Benjamin D. Rinehart $275/$300 Basic Bookbinding
Learn to make a classic clothbound hardcover book. The flatback case opens
flat and is suited to a slim volume of poetry or a hefty dictionary; to a
tiny miniature book or a really big book. For beginners, building a flatback
case is a good introduction to hand bookbinding fundamentals. Those with
more experience will review and refine skills to gain confidence in one of
the standard structures of bookbinding. Bind a book any size you wish,
either blank or bring prepared signatures.Section 2: July 31 & August 1, Saturday and Sunday 10am - 4pm Susan Mills $220/$245 October 16 & 17, Saturday and Sunday, 10am - 4pm Susan Mills $220/$245 Basic Bookbinding in Leather
When properly tanned, leather is an excellent cover material for books - it
is durable, flexible and allows for traditional finishing - the blind and
gold tooling of letters and decoration on book covers. And despites its
reputation for being "difficult" leather can be easy to work with. Building
a traditional quarter-leather or half-leather case bound book is a good
introduction to the basic tools, techniques and principles of hand binding
with leather.November 20 & 21, Saturday and Sunday 10am - 4pm Susan Mills $220/$245 Bookbinding for Artists
