Introduction to Non Adhesive Bookbinding

This one day workshop takes place on  Saturday 24 April 2010 from 10am - 4pm (hour for lunch, not provided) and costs £60.  This is a perfect introduction to bookbinding with Bristol based printmaker and book artist Tortie Rye. By working simply with basic stitches and folding, you will come away from this intensive beginners’ course with a number of binding skills under your belt, not to mention a nice bundle of colourful note books all made by you during the day.

Some of the soft cover binding forms will include concertina structures, Japanese stab bindings, French sewn books and an open spine buttonhole book. Come along with nimble fingers and a little bit of patience on this very satisfying day.

Participants are asked to bring with them (if they have them) A4 or A3 cutting matt, ruler (metal preferably,) scalpel or craft knife (with new blade) pencil, scissors, and a sharp pencil.  Specialist bookbinding tools will be available to borrow and also to buy.

There is a limit of just seven places on this course. To book this workshop call us on 0845 680 1409 or visit the Bristol Drawing School.
