Description

The sewn boards binding developed by Gary Frost is a modern version of one of the earliest forms of the codex. This structure has been used to rebind books as a library binding and as a limited-edition binding for new artist works. The book opens flat and is a great structure for beginning bookbinders. In this class, you will learn to make this unique book, which can be a notebook, a sketchbook, a gift, or a model for additional handmade books. 

No prior bookbinding experience necessary. All materials provided.
