DROP SPINE BOX (clam shell) with Karen JonesFeb. 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.
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.
