FEBRUARY:
\n<\/strong>Japanese Stab Binding<\/strong><\/a>
\nFebruary 16 (Saturday)
\nNorth Bennet Street School
\nBoston, MA<\/p>\n

In this workshop, students will construct a Japanese Stab binding model, more traditionally referred to as 4-Hole binding or yotsume toji. We will build the model in a traditional manner, while incorporating Western tools and equipment. This workshop will provide a better understanding of the structure and the foundation for which to alter the number of holes and sewing pattern.<\/p>\n

Fundamentals of Bookbinding I<\/a>
\n<\/strong>February 25 \u2013 March 1 (Monday \u2013 Friday)
\nNorth Bennet Street School
\nBoston, MA<\/p>\n

Students will learn the foundations of bookbinding by combining hands-on exercises and discussion. The class starts by exploring non-adhesive structures: soft cover pamphlet, Coptic, historical longstitch and link stitch. The class ends with a look at case bindings, with the creation of two hardcover flatback bindings. Students also learn different structural elements, sewing variations, covering and cutting techniques using various materials, tools and equipment. Throughout the course discussions will cover terminology, paper grain and folding, selecting proper materials and tools, and adhesives and their properties.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n
