The workshop

Spend a day exploring the exciting world of endbands!  We’ll begin with a brief history of endbands before diving into the creation of "made endbands" using paper and leather then exploring various embellishment techniques. In the second half of the workshop, we’ll focus on two sewn endband styles: bead on the spine and renaissance chevron. We’ll discuss how endbands can enhance the overall design of your book and what to think about when choosing a style.

 

This workshop is for intermediate binders who have experience with creating sewn endbands or hand sewing. Attendees are strongly encouraged to bring optical magnification gear like reading glasses or an optivisor. All materials will be provided.
