It has become popular again with hand bookmakers because of the beauty of it's exposed spine as well as the structure of the book which allows it to open flat. In this class we will use the twin needle technique to sew the binding.This is a perfect sized book to keep with you for notes or sketches and would also make a lovely gift.All materials will be provided, including a selection of papers for the covers and optional signature wraps but if you have some special paper you would like to use for the covers please contact me at joycetromba@gmail.com so I can give you advice about size and grain direction.Joyce Tromba is happily settled into life in lovely Western North Carolina after living and teaching around the world for 30 years. Her travels have exposed her to many fiber traditions and she has always found groups of fiber folks wherever she was to share her making with. Joyce has 20+ years teaching design, sewing, knitting, quilting and bookmaking to High School students and adults. She has studied fiber and book and fiber arts at Penland, Arrowmont, John C. Campbell Folk School, and the Center for Book Arts in New York City. Her work can be found at Local Cloth where she also teaches natural dyeing, bookmaking and sewing classes..Members: Remember to enter your promo code upon checkout to receive your 10% member discount!
