About the Workshop:

One of the biggest challenges in design bookbinding is finding a creative image that is closely related to the content of the book we need to bind and then translating that image into the techniques of the craft. In this class, we will explore various processes and methods that facilitate the development of an appropriate image for bookbinding, pushing the boundaries of our own creative limits. Ideas do not emerge out of nowhere; it is necessary to activate the creative engine to generate designs for the binding of each book, which may require a different approach. Mastering various techniques and tools offers greater flexibility, opening new creative channels of communication with the material to be bound.


Required Materials:

  • Each participant should bring 2 books to work with, not for binding, but to use as a starting point for the creative work. The book size should be approximately A5.
  • Bring markers, pencils, paints, or brushes that you would like to work with.

All other materials will be provided by Center for Book Arts at no additional cost.

The shelves sag away from the wall overtime
Color: White, Number Of Shelves: 2, Size: 15.7in, Color: White, Number Of Shelves: 2, Size: 15.7in
Although the wood quality and finish of the shelf are clean and well-made, the main issue is that the shelves begin to sag over time while holding around 10 pounds, even though the product listing claims they can support up to 20 pounds. They may perform better on a brick wall, but on drywall you should be cautious. To fix the problem, I had to purchase floating shelf brackets for support, which solved the sagging issue. However, this defeats the purpose of the “floating” aesthetic. Since the shelf is in my bedroom, I can overlook it, but I personally wouldn’t install these in a common area if I wanted a clean floating look.
