The Secret Belgian binding, also known as Criss Cross binding, was developed by Anne Goy in the mid-1980s and is influenced by traditional Japanese binding styles. The binding is simple and easy to construct; it opens flat and is perfect for thinner text blocks.

\n<\/strong>2 Days \/\/ April 9 & 10 (Saturday and Sunday)
\n8:30am \u2013 4:30pm
\nIn-Person Workshop @ North Bennet Street School in Boston<\/p>\n

With the advent of printing in the 15th<\/sup> century books were printed in larger quantities creating a higher demand for bookbinders. Limp binding structures came about as a way for binders to quickly construct an elegant and durable binding for this new demand. This beautiful style of binding is suitable for conservation or new bindings. Students will learn the proper sewing pattern for this structure, create hand-sewn endbands and how to properly fold the cover before lacing in the text block.<\/p>\n
