Case Binding
Session Three: June 16-28
Anna Embree
Case Binding
This workshop will explore hard and soft cover case structures for a variety of textblock types. We will consider how structural components such as sewing style and covering materials influence construction, openability, and end use. Cases will be made for newly constructed textblocks, using a variety of sewing styles, and for rebinding books that need new covers. Paper decorating techniques, endbanding, and cloth backing will be incorporated into the projects to create one-of-a-kind books and simple boxes. All levels.
