Book & Paper Arts Workshops
Sewn Boards Binding with Sewn-In Wrapper with Karen Hanmer (Online)
Schedule: Apr 28, 2021 — 6pm - 9pm (ET);
5pm - 8pm (CT); 4pm - 7pm (MT); 3pm - 6pm (PT)
This variation on the Sewn Boards Binding is based on a model by Gary Frost in the University of Iowa Library. Before sewing, a long strip of card is hinged around the one of the card folios that start and end the book. The stub faces out. After sewing, the card strip is folded around the fore edge of the card folio it is hinged around, across the spine of the book, folded again at the fore edge of the second card folio, and rests inside that folio. A spine lining provides support. The structure provides quick, low-adhesive protection for a text that cannot wait for a more formal binding. The wrapper can unfold as a wide panorama, presenting book arts possibilities.
This is an interediate-level workshop. Students should be making sewn books independently, outside a workshop setting. Librarians, designers and similar book professionals with limited hands-on experience are also welcome. Ages 18 and up.
