#5022 Drumleaf Binding, with Anne Covell - March 5
The drumleaf binding is an ideal structure for artist books and/or books where text and image span the page spread. In this binding, the spine remains flexible, allowing open pages to lay flat. This no-sewing binding is created by stacking individual folios and glueing up the spine. Folios are tipped at the fore edge and covers are attached. In this workshop, we will create two drumleaf bindings: one with attached covers and a flexible Japanese tissue spine, and one with a traditional hardcover case.
This class makes an ideal follow-up to the letterpress imagemaking class offered on the previous day (Saturday, March 4) for students interested in learning how to adapt prints to book form.
Sunday, March 5 from 9:00 am to 4:00 pm
Fee: $150 plus $25 materials fee
