W Binding workshop

Bookbinding Victoria

Tuesday 27 June 1–5 pm

In the Bindery, Rear St Faiths Church 6 Charles St Glen Iris, Parking at rear.

      

 

 

The basis for a W binding is a simple concertina with hard covers. Sections were sewn into the fold using pamphlet stitch then straps are threaded through the stitches. It is a binding that can be extended just limited by the length of the straps and the base concertina. It would be useful as a photograph album or for collages or other bulky items because the concertina acts as a spacer.

 

                                     

Workshop will be given by Gail Stiffe,     

President of Papermakers of Victoria.

From 1–5 Tuesday 27 June at The Bindery,

Tuesday's meeting of the Victorian Bookbinders’ Guild included an introduction to the world of book arts by book arts enthusiast, Emily Hylard.  Emily discussed and shared her collection of books by Australian and international artists, many of which were in surprising and unexpected shapes. 

A number of the books exemplified the key principle of book arts, which is to use the entire book structure to communicate its story.  Common structures used in book arts include the flag book, tunnel book, carousel book and the use of Platonic solids. 

Book arts is a great entry point to making books for those who might not feel ready to attempt traditional book binding techniques such as those used to make codex books. The evening ended with attendees looking more closely at the range of books on display and it was pleasing to hear many attendees comment on finding new inspiration for their future book projects.
