Flush Edges / Opens Wide: Sewn Board & Drum Leaf Bindings
Flush Edges / Opens Wide: Sewn Board & Drum Leaf Bindings

This course will cover the Sewn Board and Drum Leaf Bindings, contemporary book structures that are influenced by historic bindings. The Sewn Board Binding uses thread and glue to bind the pages and the Drum Leaf Binding uses adhesive alone. Each book has flush edges and opens flat, which is ideal for sketchbooks, journals or artists books. We will also discuss a variety of paper choices and edge decorating techniques so you can personalize your books.

This workshop runs 12 hours (2 days).
