Due to its popularity, this workshop has been expanded to three full days for learning the fine art of book construction. On the first day the student will practice fundamental binding techniques including Japanese stab binding, corner treatments, the pamphlet stitch, the use of book cloth, and single signature procedures. As the workshop progresses the student will be taken through the steps to make a 6” x 7” hardcover book using more advanced techniques: cloth covers, sewing signatures, interleaf pages, hinges, linen tapes, and headbands. The books become personalized through add-in techniques such as sewn-in envelopes, specialty papers, block printing, insertions, and pockets. A wide variety of handmade and commercial papers will be used for the final project. A shorter version of this workshop is also offered as One Day Bookbinding Gaye Hansen Gaye Hansen has an extensive background in bookbinding and the textile arts.
