Explore case binding structures through repetition while experimenting with minor changes in technique with each book. The course covers structural elements, sewing variations, covering, and cutting techniques using various tools and equipment. Discussions cover terminology, paper grain and folding, selecting proper materials and tools, and adhesives and their properties. Students have ample time to repeat each technique in order to achieve precision and accuracy. This course is suitable for beginners or those who want to refresh their skills.
Personal projects: Time will be dedicated to working on personal projects during the latter half of the workshop. Projects should be suitable for the case binding structure. While some materials can be supplied, students should bring the bulk of the materials required for their work. Students without a personal project to work on will continue making case binding models. if there are any questions, please email the instructor directly at erin@herringbonebindery.com.
Please bring a notebook with you to class. All other tools and supplies are provided for this class.
Monday, April 8 to Friday, April 12, 8:30am-4:30pm. Instructor: Erin Fletcher BB '12.
