Bookbinding and Box Making
A unique opportunity for an intensive, fun and rewarding "two-in-one"
learning experience. Make different types of blank books including an
album. Using decorative papers and bookbinding cloth, familiarize
yourself with binding materials, tools and adhesives. After learning
book structures, continue using these techniques to start your
fabulous box, covered in decorative papers designed and sized by you.
More experienced students continue on advanced projects. Bring a bone
folder and pencil to the first class. Materials fee: $15
