Secret Belgian Binding<\/a>
\n<\/strong>September 14 – 15 (Saturday \u2013 Sunday)
\nNorth Bennet Street School
\nBoston, MA<\/p>\n

There are still a few spots left!<\/strong> This workshop explores the Secret Belgian structure and ways to modify it. On day one, students put together two variations of this non-adhesive structure: one with exposed stitches and one with hidden stitches. On day two, students explore modified versions of the Secret Belgian binding developed by book artist, Anne Goy by playing with the length of stitching and incorporating Tyvek. The Secret Belgian binding can be constructed quickly with few tools and virtually no equipment. It opens flat and works best with thinner text blocks.<\/p>\n

Cross Structure Binding<\/strong><\/a>
\nSeptember 21 – 22 (Saturday \u2013 Sunday)
\nNorth Bennet Street School
\nBoston, MA<\/p>\n

There are still a few spots left!<\/strong> The Cross Structure binding is a non-adhesive structure that offers much freedom to the text block. This 20th century design is greatly inspired by the Long Stitch bindings of the medieval era. It is suitable for conservation or new bindings, such as travel journals or decorative bindings. The structure is uniquely constructed by interlocking the front and back covers at the spine. In this 2-day workshop, students will work on 4 variations of the Cross Structure, creating models in both handmade paper and leather. If time permits, students will have an opportunity to decorate their covers.<\/p>\n

October:<\/strong>
\nBookbinding 101<\/strong><\/a>
\nOctober 5 – 6 (Saturday \u2013 Sunday)
\nNorth Bennet Street School
\nBoston, MA<\/p>\n

\u200bIn this two day class, students get a quick introduction to various bookbinding techniques by exploring three different book structures. The class begins with a simple pamphlet and continues with constructing two multi-signature books known as a flatback case binding and link stitch binding. Finally, students construct a box to house all of their creations. This class is a great way to familiarize yourself with bookbinding and is perfect for those who are curious about the craft. Please bring a notebook and pencil to class.<\/p>\n

\n

November:<\/strong>
\nFundamentals of Bookbinding I<\/strong><\/a>
\nNovember 4 – 8 (Monday – 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

Japanese Stab Binding<\/strong><\/a>
\nNovember 17 (Sunday)
\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
