Sewn Board Binding Workshop

I don't have many opportunities to use the sewn board binding structure, so it was a lot of fun to teach this in a workshop recently. It allowed me to make a few examples, which was fun, and then introduce it to a very eager group of students. And as expected, everyone loves this book structure.

Look at all the beautiful books they made!

Sewn Board Binding

This is an example of the elegant and practical sewn board binding that I made in a workshop with Gary Frost a few years ago. Gary designed this particular structure himself and I saw a nice summary of its features on this blog, if you are interested in learning more about it.
