LLCFT 292 - Bookmaking: Materials and Structure

This fast-paced, five-week bookmaking venture is an introduction to binding fundamentals. Class participants will learn how to craft several book structures, including folded forms, non-adhesive bindings, case bindings, and enclosures. Students have the option of binding blank books or incorporating content of their own design. Topics of discussion include studio practices, the selection and utility of various materials, the role of the handmade book, and ways to generate content, but the primary emphasis is on craft.
