About this Workshop:
In this workshop, students will learn how to make the deceptively simple drum leaf binding. This binding is made entirely using adhesives, allowing full spread images without sewing through the pages. This workshop would be perfect for printmakers or paper artists who wish to turn existing works on heavy-duty paper into a finished book.
Level: Intermediate – Introduction to Bookmaking, or equivalent experience (6 hours), is recommended but not required.
Registration closes November 11, 2022. Material fees are included with your registration, though a list of additional optional items to consider bringing will be sent with your confirmation.
