As a design educator and sometime-bookbinder, I have developed over the years a technique for teaching a "bastardized" method of making a hardcase book with an accordion-bound interior interior, which has proven useful for our design students in making book prototypes for their portfolios. Using an accordion-bound bookblock is much easier for the students than making two-sided-printed, sewn signatures, and the results look professional and impressive. I'm happy to share this technique with colleagues in a fun, relaxing and very hands-on workshop that will make traditional bookbinders blanch with horror!
Number of Participants: 12-15 max.
