Book Structures for Prints and Photos

Saturday, April 24th to Sunday, April 25th, 2027 from 8:30 am - 4:00 pm

Dates: Saturday, April 24th & Sunday, April 25th (2 meetings)

Hours: 8:30 am - 4:00 pm

Instructor: Bill Hanscom

This two-day class will present students with three different bindings that are ideal for artists working with printmaking, photography, and collage: The Drum Leaf; Hedi Kyle’s Storage Book; and the Japanese Accordion Album (Nori-ire gajo). Unlike a traditionally sewn codex, these structures use individual folios and only use adhesive in their construction, avoiding the complexities of imposition and allowing for a full view of the image with minimal preparation before binding.

Tools & Supplies: All tools and supplies will be provided for this class.

Prerequisite: Bookbinding 101 or equivalent experience required. If you have any questions about your experience, please contact ce@nbss.edu.

Age Requirement: Students must be 18+ by the class start date to attend adult CE classes. No one under 18 years old is permitted to register for an adult class, even if accompanied by a parent or guardian.
