About the Workshop:
This in-person class at Center for Book Arts is taught by instructor Sarah Nicholls.
Do you have a favorite book, or set of books, that deserve a beautiful protective slipcase? In this course, students will create a custom cloth-covered slipcase for a book. Students will learn to measure to fit their book, line boards, assemble and cover a four-sided lined slipcase to house a book. We will talk about decorative options and ways to personalize the project. No binding experience necessary.
