SLIP CASE with Pam Leutz
Jan. 20, 1-4p
10361 E 28th PL, Denver, CO 80238
During this session you will learn how to accurately measure and glue components to produce a lined slipcase to hold a book. The slipcase you will cut and assemble will be made to fit the book you choose. The book you provide should be about 6-9 x 8-10 x 1-2”. Contact Pam at pleutz@me.com if you have questions.

DROP SPINE BOX (clam shell) with Karen Jones
Feb. 10, 10a - 4p (with lunch break)
Your Bindery, 991 S. Jason St., Denver, CO 80223
This structure is the base model for the protection of rare books developed by the Library of Congress. The box is cloth covered with an inset for a spine label. All materials supplied; most pieces will be pre-cut. I’ll discuss and demonstrate how to measure and cut the components. Because this structure requires drying time, we’ll look at 4-flap enclosures and more complex variations of the drop-spine box between steps. 5-6 hours - $75 ($70 GBW members) + $10 materials fee $80 ($75/GBW) if not taking the series. Limited to 6 students.

SLIP CASE with magnetic closure and panel with Richard Pollock-Nelson
March 10, 9 a.m. -5:00p
Your Bindery, 991 S. Jason St., Denver, CO 80223
We will be making a slip case with a closure that is held in place with magnets.
There is also a panel that is placed next to the flap to make the top even. I will go through how to measure and cut the pieces; however, in the interest of time, the pieces for the class will be pre-cut. I will supply a “practice book,” glue, board, magnets,
paper for lining case, and some paper and book cloth. Workshop and materials fee: $120 ($110 GBW members) $150 ($140/GBW) if not taking the series. Limited to 5 students.
