Have you ever wondered how a paperback book is made? We will take a stack of paper, blank or with text, and transform it into a unique paperback book, complete with decorative soft cover. Bookbinders call it a perfect or double fan binding. You will learn to glue up individual sheets of paper to form the book block and make a cover to fit. This technique can be used to make blank books or with text, or remake an existing paperback that is falling apart. Many of the basic skills of bookbinding will be introduced. No experience necessary.
Plus receive one 3-hour monitored open bench session each week.
Tuition includes $5 materials fee.
This class will take place in a studio accessed by a flight of stairs. For any accommodations please send a confidential email to registrar@creativeartsworkshop.org
