MILLIMETER STYLE BINDING ~ Transition to In-Boards Binding with LEATHER ///  Two days, dated to be determined.  9:00am-4:00pm. $235 ~ leather, materials included. 

This class transitions the student from the case bound book to the concept of the spine hollow and “in-boards” binding, where the boards and the book spines are attached to the text block before it is covered.

Students will focus on one elegant binding based on the Millimeter style. This structure utilizes an attached spine/paper component that acts like a spine hollow and extends over the spine shoulders to the endpaper linings, eventually to be used as a flange for the board attachment. Small amounts of leather are applied to the spine and fore-edge of the book boards, then trimmed down to literally millimeters along edges, which brings attention to the decorative paper on the boards.

Prerequisite Hands On Bookbinding classes: BOOKBINDING WARMUP (or other prerequisite classes), ROUNDED SPINE FOR CASEBINDING. CASEBINDING REFINED WITH LEATHER is highly recommended, but not required.

 Class limited to 5 students, 3 minimum.

This class is designed to prepare students for future classes in laced-on boards binding, or fine binding.
