February:<\/strong>
\nSecret Belgian Binding<\/strong><\/a>
\nFebruary 15 (Saturday)
\nJP Knit and Stitch
\nJamaica Plain, MA<\/p>\n

This workshop will explore the Secret Belgian structure. Students will also be introduced to ways of modifying this structure. This binding style is simple and easy to construct; it opens flat and is perfect for thinner text blocks.<\/p>\n

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

March:<\/strong>
\n3-Part Bradel<\/strong><\/a>
\nMarch 9 \u2013 12 (Monday \u2013 Thursday)
\nNorth Bennet Street School
\nBoston, MA<\/p>\n

This workshop is sold out.<\/strong> 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. Experience with leather is not necessary, but encouraged.<\/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.<\/p>\n
