British Arts and Crafts Movement printers William Morris (Kelmscott
Press) and T.J. Cobden-Sanderson (Doves Press) both chose to bind their
iconic works in limp vellum cases. Because these bindings are so devoid
of ornament, differing aspects of their construction such as the tone
and figuring of the vellum, color of the sewing supports and thread,
uniformity of the visible turn-ins, overlapping comers, and the organic
slit edges (as opposed to trimmed) become design elements.

Students in this workshop will view examples and discuss these
characteristics before constructing a facsimiles of a Doves Press limp
vellum binding.


The format is a series of live tutorials via Zoom. The tutorials are
recorded and the videos are available to registered students for 90
days. Students need not be present for the live sessions. Workshop fee
includes supplies and a detailed handout, which are mailed to arrive in
time for the first session.
