n | The
purpose of the School for Formal Bookbinding is to provide
high quality
instruction in hand bookbinding within the context of the German academic tradition that I learned from my teachers, Trudi and Fritz Eberhardt. Emphasis is placed on the
understanding that a successful hand-bound book is the result of interrelated
decisions about structure, technique and material at every stage of the
binding process. The school is located in Northeast Pennsylvania between Wilkes-Barre and Scranton and is equidistant from New York City and Philadelphia. For its sixth year the school will offer the progressive series of one week classes (Bookbinding 1 through 6) twice; three weekend workshops: Intro to Inlay & Onlay, Intro to Titling &Tooling and a two day boxmaking class; a one week class on Edition Binding. In the case of classes scheduled in sequential weeks students who sign up for both classes can do so at a reduced tuition and housing rate. Anyone with specific interests or ideas for classes not listed is encouraged to contact us. | ||
