Last Call! Sewn Boards with One-Piece Covering online workshop Sunday
December 11
Sponsored by the Jaffe Center for Book Arts at Florida Atlantic University

Registration and complete information here:
www.library.fau.edu/depts/spc/JaffeCenter/workshops/sewn_boards3.php

The Sewn Boards binding is Gary Frost’s modern adaptation of an ancient
method of board attachment. Stiffened outer signatures sewn along with
the text block function as the book’s boards. The book opens flat. It
can be dressed up or down with a variety of spine treatments,
board-covering materials, and edge decoration techniques. It can be
constructed quickly, lends itself to edition work, and can be made in a
sparsely equipped home studio.

This elegant variation is covered in one piece of material, rather than
the more standard quarter binding. The covering material can be book
cloth, strong text-weight paper, or thinly-pared leather backed with tissue.

This workshop will be recorded, and video will be available to
registered students for at least 30 days after the workshop.
