Description

Learn to create your own lay-flat Drumleaf photo or art book with solid instruction by Bookbinder Edward Patrick Kranz! Drumleaf Binding Photo (Art) Book One Day (8 hours) Workshop July 16th, 9 AM – 5 PM (bring a lunch!) All materials included (unless you want to provide your own images) The Drum Leaf Binding is an adhesive-only binding structure, with no sewing. This allows the book to open flat. Images can span the entire two-page spread. This is perfect for photo books, brag books, art books, and portfolios. The Drum Leaf Binding was developed by Tim Ely. For the purpose of this workshop, we will use the break-away spine method, though we will discuss several other techniques to cover the book. Students may print their own material for the text block of the book. Recommended print size is 8.5” x 11” with the image set to landscape. I recommend using heavy photo paper around 280 GSM. The paper should be tested to ensure it folds nicely along the short direction. fold the paper to ensure it doesn’t crack at the fold. Print only on one side. Larger sizes are acceptable up to tabloid (11” x 17”), but let the instructor know ([email protected]) so appropriate-sized cover materials can be made available. Again, feel free to e-mail Edward with any questions before printing your material. Please limit your number of images to twenty (20) maximum quantities. There is no discount if you provide your own images. All other students will have blank materials to construct their Drum Leaf Binding with. Images can also adhere to the surface pages later if desired. Seating for this course is limited to 5 students to ensure attention is available to each aspiring bookbinder! All necessary materials and tools will be supplied at the workshop. Tool kits will be available for purchase after the workshop if you want to continue the bookbinding adventure at home. A video of the workshop will be exclusively available to the participants for 90 days after the workshop. It will then be available to our Patreon patrons at Patreon/HoneyBadgerBinder ** The BOOKFORGE has two cats and a dog in residence, they will not be present for the workshop, but I thought you might want to know as an allergy warning.
