About this Event

Book Binding Core Workshops I-IV (Spring 2025 Session)
w/Jane Freeman & Yolanda Merrill
Thursday, Friday, Saturday & Sunday, April 03– 06, 2025

This four-part Bookbinding Core Series prepares participants to undertake a wide range of projects and additional classes in intermediate and advanced bookbinding techniques and book structures.

  • Class 1 introduces basic bookbinding tools, shop equipment, materials, and processes.
  • Class 2 employs the portfolio structure to develop skills in board cutting, working with cover materials, and using adhesives.
  • Class 3 starts with an introduction to the case-bound book, its history, and mechanics.
    Participants will learn how to sequence the making of this structure and will end the day with a fully finished case-bound book.
  • Class 4 is a continuation of class 3.
    Participants will make a second case-bound book. They can decide on this book's size and cover material and can experiment with decorative paper brought from home.
