Edelpappband: The Fine Paper Binding
Edelpappband: The Fine Paper Binding

The Millimeter Binding or Edelpappband is German in origin and makes a simple, elegant binding. With thin boards, edges of leather and decorated papers for the covers, it creates graceful detail on thin printed or blank books. The book is sewn, glued, and boards are attached to the text block. Then edges or corners are reinforced with leather before final covering in paper. Students will complete one Edelpappband binding during the class.

This class takes 12 - 18 hours (2 - 3 days).
