Medieval Long and Link Stitch Bindings

Long-and link-stitches connect the text block directly to the limp parchment cover and can be used individually or in combination to create striking exposed-sewing patterns on the spine. After examining models and images of historical bindings, participants choose from a number of templates and create two structures using traditional techniques and features such as fore-edge flaps and string-and-button closures.

All tools and supplies are provided and are included in the tuition price.

There is an additional $40 fee for tools and materials due to the instructor on the first day of class
