Intermediate Finishing: Tooling with Egg Glaire Session I: Samuel Feinstein <https://millsbookartsummer.org/session-i-samuel-feinstein/> June 4-8, 2018 Egg glaire: It’s challenging, but the results are absolutely gorgeous. This workshop will explore multiple methods of finishing with egg glaire, a technique which gives you the cleanest, brightest impressions. Once you understand how it works, tooling with egg glaire is very approachable and can be used effectively in both traditional and modern binding designs. While the focus of the workshop will be specifically on gold tooling, applications that build upon blind impressions will also be covered. Participants will work on several pre-made plaquettes in both goatskin and calf. This course is also a very rare opportunity to use finishing tools from the collection of the renowned bookbinder Florence Walter. The tools are part of the holdings of the Mills College Book Art Program and includes over 500 individual tools. Anticipating the variety of skill levels this course might attract, there will be a lot of one-on-one instruction to address each student’s individual experience and project needs. Samuel Feinstein is a private practice bookbinder specializing in fine bindings, gold finishing, rounded spine clamshell boxes, and new bindings in period style. He trained at the North Bennet Street School in Boston under Jeff Altepeter and Martha Kearsley, graduating in 2012.
