Participants will create two books. An A5 journal/photo album – hard cover, hinged, Asian influenced, using book cloth, book board, 110gsm acid free cartridge paper, and linen thread. An A5 pamphlet binding – soft 270gsm kraft cover, 80 gsm bond paper, with a 3-hole sewing with linen thread. Some of the skills covered will include creating covered corners, packing spines, hard cover hinge formation, and covering boards with book cloth. We will also create and use templates, applying cumulative measurement. 

The historical development of writing surfaces and bookbinding styles will be discussed over the day. Date: Saturday, January 12, 2019 Time: 10:00am to 3:30pm
