Bookbinding Workshop Level I

Level I: Participants will take home a blank book they create in class, using the methods that were employed from about the first century through the mid 19th century. They will hand-sew the book sections (called signatures); secure the hard covers; add a leather or cloth spine, and decorative paper, to the covers; and lay down the endpapers. Participants will also be provided step-by-step written instructions they can take home.

All materials are included, and tools will be provided.

Cost per Person: $140/Adult (Age 14 and Up)

Class size is limited to 6 people. Participants must be over the age of 14. Participants under 18 must be accompanied by an adult.

Length of Class: Typical class lasts about 5-6 hrs

Lunch: We invite participants to bring a lunch to eat during the workshop. We have a refrigerator available if needed. There are also many places along Mill Street to purchase a to-go meal.
