Schedule: Jul 6, 13, 20 & 27, 2021; 
6pm - 8:30pm (ET); 5pm - 7:30pm (CT); 4pm - 6:30pm (MT); 3pm - 5:30pm (PT); 

Note: This is an intermediate-level workshop for students with some book arts experience and a strong desire to build skills. Librarians, designers and similar book professionals with no hands-on experience are welcome.

A handsome, functional book is built on a solid foundation of traditional forwarding skills. Students will review and reinforce these skills by going through all the steps of crafting a traditional binding
prior to covering:

·folding, marking up and punching signatures
·selecting endsheets appropriate for board/case attachment and full
·opening
·sewing on and off a sewing frame
·gluing up and rounding the spine
·lightly backing the text block
·sewing endbands
·spine lining

To complete the binding we will anchor the text block into a folded paper case.

Binding Fundamentals is a prerequisite for all advanced binding workshops at Karen Hanmer Book Arts. Moving forward almost all online workshops will be advanced level.
