Workshop // Choose Your Own Adventure: Crossed Structure

Description
The Crossed Structure binding is a non-adhesive binding that offers much freedom to the text block. This 20th century binding was designed Carmencho Arregui and is greatly inspired by the Long Stitch bindings of the medieval era and can be constructed in a range of styles. The structure is uniquely constructed by interlocking the front and back cover at the spine. It is suitable in conservation or new bindings, such as journals or decorative bindings.

For this workshop, you can sign up for any number of sessions.
Each session is $70, except for Protective. Due to the cost of leather, this session is $100.
