Edition binding can be a challenge, and this class will address that challenge. We will begin by designing a structure and design for a particular textblock, then make a mockup, build jigs, and batch the processes in order to streamline the production process.

For this class the school will provide textblocks printed by the Press of Appletree Alley, and the participants will bind a run of thirty copies. Each student will keep two of the copies.

Requirements: Potential students should have a good grasp of basic bookbinding techniques. Students should bring their own hand tools, notebook and apron. 

Dates: Monday, August 17 - Friday, August 21. If you are staying at the school please come late Sunday afternoon to get settled in.

Material Fee: $15.00

Class status: 5 spaces available as of 11/17/08.
