Being able to make bookcloth immensely expands the range of possibilities for the materials in your bookbinding, opening up a whole new set of choices for cloth color, texture, and weight.
Many types of cloth can be made into excellent book cloth and create a unique look to your books. In this evening or half-day workshop, students will learn how to make bookcloth in three different ways from start to finish, and leave with many finished samples. We will look at a huge range of fabrics to discuss tips and troubleshooting in your home studio practice. You will also get a swatchbook of fabrics for easy identification and reference. This workshop will give students greater creative freedom over the look, feel, and texture of covers for books, boxes, and portfolios.
