Bookbinding with Matt Edwards
In this session there will be a brief introduction to both traditional and craft bookbinding techniques by looking at some examples of Matt's own work.
There will also be an opportunity to produce a simple Japanese bound notebook. This traditional binding technique is one of the earliest book forms. It was created in Japan to resolve the problem of having to roll and re-roll long paper scrolls. This is a sewing technique that has many decorative possibilities.
You need to bring: Scissors & Sewing needles
Matt will supply: Paper, Card, Threads
Some decorative off -cuts just in case we have time at the end of the session to decorate the cover.
You may have an idea in mind for your own work, if so bring it along.
Matt trained as a conservation bookbinder following a degree fine art. While restoring books of antiquity he also creates a variety of unique artists’ bindings.
This will be the last session at Eastwood Hall and Barbara will give details out of our future venue.
