Thursday 9 July 2020, 10.15-4.00; tea/coffee on arrival from 10am for a prompt start at 10.15am
Single sheets have been bound together with adhesive since Victorian times through to the modern paperback . . . and they don’t have to fall apart! It’s even called ‘perfect binding’ in the trade. In this workshop, with local bookbinder Barry Clark, you will make a perfect bound book, with coloured end-papers, strengthened linen cloth covers, with a pocket inside the rear cover for tickets and ephemera, all held together with an elasticated closure. A great journal, home or away. All materials and tools will be provided. The fee includes the cost of materials, tea/coffee on arrival and a light lunch. This workshop is limited to 12 participants so early booking is advised.
