"Parchment over Boards"
Workshop at Creative Arts Workshop

New Haven, CT
Saturday and Sunday, Oct 29-30, 2011
9am - 5pm

Instructor: Peter Geraty

Cost: $450, members: $405

This workshop will encompass the binding of a book into parchment
over boards.  Although parchment has a reputation of being difficult
to work with, it is an ideal binding material. It is beautiful and
stronger than any other material we normally work with in
bookbinding. In this workshop, we will sew a blank book, round and
back it, sew endbands, create the parchment cover and case the book
in. To accomplish this, the class will move quickly through all the
steps; students should be comfortable sewing a textblock, endbands
and making cloth cases. Please bring a standard binding kit--bone
folders, sewing needle, awl, scissors, dividers, pencil, metric
ruler, knife and straightedge, glue brushes, backing hammer (if you
have one). If you have a sanding drum, such as a Dremel or a
Foredom, you should also bring it. Please register by October 10,
2011 to assure place in the class. A $75 materials fee for parchment
is included.
