Book & Paper Arts Workshops
Slotted Spine Bindings with Bonnie Stahlecker (Online)
Schedule: May 1 & 8, 2021 — 8am (ET);
Two pre-recorded video tutorials with PDF instructions posted May 1 at 8:00 am ET. Additional lessons posted May 8. Access to a private chat area for questions and comments.
In this workshop, you will create a handsome book with an exposed catch stitch that is functional and decorative. The paper spine-piece operates as the sewing support and conceals the book's spine. Bonnie will demonstrate an innovative way to hide the kettle stitches. Covered boards of decorated paper complete the binding.
The instructor is enabling the students to choose their favorite papers for the pages and the cover—this an excellent time to search through one's paper files and use what is already available. There will be multiple suggestions to guide the selection process. During the workshop, students will learn how to calculate the correct sizes and prepare the materials. All dimensions are in imperial and metric. The workshop model's finished size is 6 x 3 ½ inches [15 x 9 cm].
This course is open to all.
