Six-day course

Saturdays and Sundays, June 8-9, 22-23 and July 6-7, 2024, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.

This core curriculum course builds on Bookbinding I.

The workshop guides students through intermediate bookbinding techniques, such as rounding and backing, trimming a textblock, and sewn end bands necessary for traditional binding structures. Participants will complete (at minimum) two bookbinding models: one rounded and backed case binding with full paste paper cover, and one cloth and marbled paper binding covered “in-boards”. There will be the option to complete two other small sized version of the bindings, depending on the time available for the individual student.

This workshop will focus on developing new skills and place strong emphasis on refining through practice the techniques learned in Bookbinding I course. Participants will learn with a combination of professional tools as well as have the opportunity to use equipment variations for at-home binding.

This workshop is the second of the CBBAG core curriculum workshops and is a prerequisite for CBBAG Bookbinding III.
