Learn to create hand-bound books exploring decorative techniques and bindings from concertinas to case-bound volumes in this 10-week course.
Overview
This course will begin by introducing you to some of the materials and tools used to create books by hand from paper and cloth. You will learn how to use paste to make decorative papers, which you will then use to make a variety of binding styles: from simple concertinas and pamphlets, to a case binding with multiple sections as well as slipcase boxes.
