Limp Vellum Binding in the style of Doves Press online workshop Registration deadline June 3 June 25-26 | Saturday and Sunday | 2 Sessions 2-5 pm Eastern Time / 1-4 pm Central / 12-3 pm Mountain / 11 am - 2 pm Pacific Registration and more information here: https://karen-hanmer.square.site/shop/workshops/3 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 and visibility of the sewing supports and thread, treatment of the case’s fore edges, uniformity of the turn-ins, overlapping comers, and the organic rough edges 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. -- Karen Hanmer www.karenhanmer.com Karen Hanmer Book Arts.
