workshop
Thursdays June 3, 10, 17, 24
4 sessions, 2 books
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 facsimiles of each.

Students need not be present for the live sessions. The tutorials are
recorded and the videos are available to registered students for 90
days. Workshop fee includes supplies, which are mailed to arrive in time
for the first session.
Karen Hanmer Book Arts offers workshops and private instruction to
working practitioners and dedicated hobbyists, focusing on a solid
foundation in traditional binding skills.
