Book & Paper Arts Workshops
Drumleaf Binding (Los Angeles, CA)
The drumleaf binding is an ideal structure for artist books and/or books where text and image span the page spread. In this binding, the spine remains flexible, allowing open pages to lay flat. This no-sewing binding is created by stacking individual folios and glueing up the spine. Folios are tipped at the fore edge and covers are attached. In this workshop, we will create two drumleaf bindings: one with attached covers and a flexible Japanese tissue spine, and one with a traditional hardcover case.
