Bookbinding: A crossed structure notebook - POSTPONED

  • The Portico Library THE PORTICO LIBRARY MANCHESTER United Kingdom (map)

(in partnership with the Society of Bookbinders, North West and North Wales Region)

Wednesday 22 April 2020, 10.15-4.00; tea/coffee on arrival from 10am for a prompt start at 10.15am

In this workshop, with local bookbinder Barry Clark, you will make an A6 crossed structure notebook - a useful, non-adhesive binding developed by Carmencho Arregui. The text block is sewn directly onto the binding which could be card, leather or a number of other materials. Our notebook will have a hand-marbled paper for the front cover, with a textile book cloth for the rear. There are many variations possible using this structure, so by learning the essentials you will be able to experiment with further designs at home should you wish. All materials and tools will be provided. The fee includes the cost of materials, tea/coffee on arrival and a light lunch. This workshop is limited to 12 participants so early booking is advised.
