This course introduces the advanced techniques used for traditional leather covered, fine binding structures. Participants will make two models, both with sewn headbands, attached boards, and covered in half leather. The first model will be sewn on recessed cords with a hollow tube construction; the second model will be sewn on raised cords with a tight back construction. (This course is complimented by Leather Workshop, the evening of January 12 and all-day, January 13, 2018WKSP-02 , being held at the Eldridge Bindery).
