About the Workshop:
This in-person class at Center for Book Arts is taught by instructor Hadley Vogel.
Building on the skills from Bookbinding IV, this workshop will review sewing while controlling the book swell for rounding the spine. We will then build on our headband previous experience by sewing a double core French headband, and prepare our text blocks for inboard covers. Special attention will be given to pairing the leather, and to all the steps leading to building a half-bound leather book (leather spine and corners).
Required Materials:
- Pencil and paper for taking notes
- Snap-off or Exacto knife and blades
- Bonefolder
All other materials will be provided by Center for Book Arts at no additional cost.
