Book & Paper Arts Workshops
[Postponed - New Date TBD] Cutting Corners & Making Book Cloth (San Diego, CA)
This class is full but a waitlist is available.
Hard cover books are often judged by the construction of their corners. Neat, tight corners are the hallmark of a well-made cover. Learn how to make corners four different ways. Making your own book cloth is easy. I’ll show you how using Japanese paper and methyl cellulose. I will furnish Davey board, decorative cover paper, and glue for the corners; methyl cellulose, chipboard, and Japanese paper for backing the fabric.
