Edelpappband: Fine Paper Binding

The Edelpappband is German in origin and makes a simple, elegant binding. With thin boards, edges of leather and decorated papers for the covers, it creates graceful detail on thin printed or blank books. The book is sewn, glued, and boards are attached to the text block. Then edges or corners are reinforced with leather before final covering in paper. Students will complete one Edelpappband binding during the class.

In this course you will learn:

How to use the bookbinding tools.
Knowledge of bookmaking materials and their qualities.
The structure of attached board binding.
How to make an Edelpappband book.

Level of Experience / Skills Required
