Simple Edge Decoration

Explore a variety of ways to decorate the edges of a text block. Decorating an edge is more than just applying pigment, students learn how to properly trim and sand edges in addition to preparing pigments such as acrylic, gouache and powdered graphite. We will also explore striped edges, simple gilding and gauffering (tooled impressions).

Please bring 1-2 recently published paperback books. All other tools and supplies are provided and are included in the tuition price.
