Structures and Bookbinding Techniques
Enrollment limit: 20; Fee: $45
Workshop Leader: Carol Barton, Book Artist, Curator, and Book Arts
Instructor, Glen Echo, MD
Moderator: Laurie Whitehill Chong, Rhode Island School of
Design
This workshop is for librarians who wish to familiarize themselves with a
variety of bookbinding structures and techniques typically found in
artists' books and fine press publications. Participants will learn
to identify bookmaking structures by examining various samples.
Simple bookbinding techniques will be taught and participants will have
the opportunity to take home a few small book works they have created
themselves.
The workshop will include demonstration, discussion, and hands-on
components. Traditional case binding techniques will be
explained. Simple book structures that will be demonstrated and
taught may include folded broadsides, accordion fold, pamphlet stitch,
and stab bindings. No previous bookbinding experience is
necessary.
