IN PERSON: Bookbinding 3 with Rose Newlove

Bookbinding 3 introduces the advanced techniques used for traditional leather covered, fine binding structures, such as leather paring, lacing-in of boards, back cornering and covering-in on the book.

Participants will make two models, both with sewn headbands, attached boards, and covered in half leather.

The first model will be sewn on recessed cords with a hollow tube construction.

The second model will be sewn on raised cords with a tight back construction.

Bookbinding 3 is one of the core courses required for the CBBAG Certificate of Completion.

Rose Newlove is a graduate of the Fleming College conservation program and works as a book and paper conservator in Toronto. She has studied bookbinding at CBBAG with Don Taylor and Betsy Palmer Eldridge and at the American Academy of Bookbinding with Don Etherington.
