Course will be delivered over 10 weeks
Description:
This is a very comprehensive workshop, which students can follow at their own pace, helped step by
step by the experienced art teacher and bookbinder Laurie Legrand.
Over the course of these wonderful and practical classes, participants will learn to – differentiate
different types of books and how they can be reproduced, – set a basic book-binding station at
home, – stitch and glue different types of book-blocks, – design and make different types of covers
(using hard card, fabric, paper, fold over leather, ribbons, etc..), – repair beloved old books, – design
their own project with the help of the teacher (artist’s sketchbooks, notebooks, portfolios, etc..).
Each student will be making and taking home an average of 4 to 8 books including repairs.
