Kelmscott Press at Denver Public Library

A group of RMGBW members as well as book fans in the community gathered on Dec. 5 to admire one of the most complete collections of the Kelmscott Press in the country. The viewing was courtesy of Brian Trebnath, Special Collections Librarian at DPL. We also visited the DPL vault and were impressed with a large antiphonal, among other treasures. The group then hiked down to Abecedarian Gallery, to see the best in contemporary book works. It was a great book-filled afternoon!

This workshop will explore the Secret Belgian structure and ways to modify it. On day one, students will put together two variations of this non-adhesive structure, which is simple and can be quickly constructed. It opens flat and is perfect for thinner text blocks. On day two, students will explore modified versions of the Secret Belgian binding explored by Anne Goy by playing with the amount of sewing, size of sewing holes and incorporating Tyvek.
This class is open to all levels of experience.
