MAY:
\nMake Your Own Punching Cradle<\/a><\/strong>
\nMay 20 (Saturday)
\n9:00am – 1:00pm
\nNorth Bennet Street School, Boston MA<\/p>\n

A punching cradle is a very useful piece of equipment for bookbinders. During this class, students create a collapsible punching cradle with a variable length. The collapsible cradle is lightweight, saves space, and is perfect for traveling or working in small spaces.<\/p>\n

JUNE:
\nFundamentals of Bookbinding I<\/a><\/strong>
\nJune 19 – 23 (Monday – Friday)
\n8:30am – 4:30pm
\nNorth Bennet Street School, Boston, MA<\/p>\n

This is a great workshop if you are interested in the full-time program at North Bennet or wanting to learn a new skill. During the workshop students will explore the basics of bookbinding through a variety of non-adhesive structures and finish the week by making a flatback case binding. We will discuss materials, adhesives, tool use and students will have access to traditional bindery equipment.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Three-Part Bradel Binding<\/a><\/strong>
\nJune 26 – 30 (Monday – Friday)
\n8:30am – 4:30pm
\nNorth Bennet Street School, Boston, MA<\/p>\n

The 3-Part Bradel binding offers a unique aesthetic over a traditional case binding. As the name suggests, the binding is assembled in three parts, which encourages the binder to use different materials to cover the spine and covers. For this workshop, students will use leather to cover the spine and a cloth or paper of their choice for the covers. Students will be guided as they pare their own leather.<\/p>\n

Students will also be using a variety of bindery equipment such as a sewing frame, job backer, plow and Kwikprint to complete their structure. We will also cover how to create a painted edge and stamp a custom label.\u00a0Experience with leather is not necessary, but encouraged.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\n

JULY
\nBookbinding 101<\/a><\/strong>
\nJuly 8 – 9 (Saturday – Sunday)
\n8:30am – 4:30pm
\nNorth Bennet Street School, Boston, MA<\/p>\n

This shorter workshop focuses on technique as students will construct through the aid of\u00a0kits. Students will make three different binding structures and create an enclosure to house everything. This workshop is perfect for anyone curious about bookbinding and what North Bennet has to offer. No prior experience necessary.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Single Signature Binding<\/a><\/strong>
\nJuly 14 – 16 (Friday – Sunday)
\n8:30am – 4:30pm
\nNorth Bennet Street School, Boston, MA<\/p>\n

Creating an elegant binding around a single signature can be a tricky task. Students will use a basic sewing technique, known as a pamphlet stitch, to create a quarter leather hardcover binding. The illusion of a standard rounded-back leather bound book is created through the use of a stub and unique style of endpapers. This workshop is suitable for students with some binding experience and those who are interested in understanding how to maniupulate familiar techniques to fit a slimmer text block. Students will also have the chance to work with leather (no previous experience is necessary) and spend time practicing paring.<\/p>\n
