Heritage Craft Workshop: Book Binding
Advertisement
Craft: Book Binding
Leader: Linette Withers (Anachronalia)
Cost: £70 (10 places)
Tea, coffee and biscuits will be provided. Venue: Peter Harrison Room
With a background in Medieval Studies Linette has been binding books since 2005. Anachronalia was founded in 2012 producing books and stationery inspired by historical examples as well as focusing on miniature tomes using modern and medieval techniques. Her work was shortlisted for display at the Bodleian Library as part of their ‘Redesigning the Medieval Book’ competition and exhibition in 2017.
One of her books is held in the permanent collection of The Phil & Lit in Newcastle, following an exhibition of bookbinding in 2021. In her day-to-day work, she works with private and library repair projects, commissions, and craft bindings, and regularly teaches bookbinding in her bindery in Leeds, and venues in and around West Yorkshire.
This bookbinding workshop will draw inspiration from the Minster and medieval imagery. The class will take you through all the steps of making a pocket-sized hardback notebook for you to take home. We’ll look at sewing the pages together, attaching endpapers, rounding and lining the spine, making up the covers, and finally casing in your book. The covers will be decorated in book cloth and decorative papers.
