In this workshop, participants will design a circle book and a triangle book using folding techniques for signature pages.

Book covers will be cut from archival core board, and pre-cut wood circles will be covered with handmade paper. Techniques that will be demonstrated include measuring, cutting, and pasting board covers.

The signature pages will be folded paper. A Turkish map-folding technique will be demonstrated for the circle book, and the triangle book will be an accordion fold.

A variety of handmade papers will be provided for this class. Along with all other materials and tools.

NOTE: 

We set our pricing to pay our instructors a fair wage and cover materials, but one of FBAC’s goals is to give access to the experience of all things bookbinding and printing to anyone who is interested. If you or someone you know would like to participate in a class but do not have the funding please reach out to contact@frederickbookarts.org and we will do what we can so no one has to miss out on the experiences we offer.
