Please note this is a live workshop and is not recorded.

 

Limp bindings have been used for centuries as simple and effective structure for storage of records.  Cerealis is based on an actual 18th century record of expenditures for wheat. 

 

The old technique for tackets is used extensively in the construction of the cover and attachment of the textblock. 


The textblock sewing is a very simple method that includes attachment of leather endbands.


The paper-lined cloth cover incorporates at flap that is held closed with leather thongs.

Stuart Hill has studied bookbinding with CBBAG under the guidance of Betsy Palmer Eldridge, Don Taylor, Dan Mezza, Karin Scheper, and Rose Newlove. With a background in engineering and architecture, his keen interest is in the discovery of book structures. Please visit Stuart’s website: www.georgehillco.com.
