In November we will have the opportunity to learn more about Book Arts from artist Sibyl Rubottom at Bay Park Press.
This workshop will cover a brief history of book arts with examples of eastern and western style book bindings. A glossary of book arts and binding terms will be provided along with a book list and source list. Workshop attendees will make an eight page book from a single sheet of paper. A second book structure will be made with an accordion binding. Workshop attendees will then proceed to learn how to cover boards for book covers. The final piece will have a soft spine, sewn binding with hard covers.
Seats are limited to 15-18 students.
