Bookbinding Workshop: Drum Leaf Binding with Gillian Stewart
June 24th 2023 @ 10:00 am - 5:00 pm
£95In this workshop you’ll make two handbound books, using professional methods and materials.
Led by a professional bookbinder, you’ll learn the skill of bookbinding, making books by hand to take home with you. There will be an abundance of high quality materials to choose from, and because you’ll be gathering in Gillian’s studio you’ll have access to the full range of equipment, materials and tools.
You’ll learn:
Creating two book blocks from single folds
Lining the spines
Making two covers – one with a flush spine, one with a floating spine
Accurate measuring and cutting
Handling tools, materials and adhesives
The Drum Leaf structure is a versatile method of binding single folds together, making it perfect for artists and a clever method of binding thicker prints. It creates a sculptural form that lends itself to artists books.
