The German Stiffened Paper Binding is a quick and sturdy binding for a
notebook or rebind of a text that needs to be available for immediate
use. The covers can be as rigid or as flexible as you wish. Our model
will be double-fan adhesive bound, a quick, sturdy, and useful method
for binding single sheets. A sewn text block works equally well and the
endsheets and covering for one of these will also be demonstrated.
Once you learn the technique, you can construct this book in less than
an hour, and a small stack of them in an afternoon. Start using your
notebook as soon as the adhesive is dry or make a mountain of them to
have a selection of handmade gifts always ready.
The online 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. A Zoom link
will be sent the week before class. Please check your spam filter if you
have not received the link within 24 hours of the session.
