A crossed structure notebook: Book Binding Workshop

  • The Portico Library 57 Mosley Street Manchester, England, M2 3HY United Kingdom (map)

£80. To book please contact events@theportico.org.uk.

We will make an A6 crossed structure notebook - a non-adhesive binding developed by Carmencho Arregui. The book block is sewn directly around the rear cover’s straps which could be card, leather or some other material. We will use reinforced hand-marbled paper for the front cover, with a supported book cloth for the rear. After sewing, the straps of the two covers weave and interlock. The rear cover extends, and folds over the foredge thus protecting the book.

Led by Barry Clark.

Tea & coffee (served on arrival at 10am), a sandwich lunch from the Portico Kitchen and materials are included in the price of £80.
