Beginners Bookbinding With Creative Covers
An exciting new workshop making two different book bases and their covers.
Begin by creating the cover papers for your books. Learn how to use a variety mixed media – inks, stencils, paint, resists, water soluble pencils and crayons, stamps, prints etc. to create a variety of designs for possible book and pamphlet covers.
We will begin the session by using washes of colour, ink on paper and then adding further colour, stencils on top. This is intended for students to individualise their own book covers.
These papers, when dry will then be used to make a small pamphlet book. This is created by simple bookbinding sewing techniques.
Then we will make covers for a concertina book using students own wrapping paper, recycled prints etc. These covers will then be made into a concertina book.
Students are requested to bring their own wrapping paper, prints on paper for recycling, decorative paper that they would like to use for covers for their books. Ideally the weight of paper should be at least 100 gsm and no thicker than 175 gsm (at least A3 in size).
Also, any media you would like to use such as acrylic paints, inks, dyes for use on paper, stamp pads or stencils. Anything that you would like to experiment with.
Tutor will supply the following;
A3 paper for students to create some covers with.
Paper for the inside leaves of the books.
Needles for sewing and bookbinding thread.
Bonefolders.
Some acrylic paints and inks.
This cost is included in your fee.
This workshop is suitable for both beginners and improvers.
A light lunch will be provided.
