This decorated binding is a modern twist on a 16th century pierced vellum binding
method. In this workshop we will sew the textblock is on vellum supports and add
leather covered endbands. Participants will cut and punch patterns on a cover of
handmade paper before painted boards are adhered to the inside. The textblock is
laced into the cover to complete this binding. Participants will go home with a
completed book and handouts for use at home.
