BOOKBINDING 3 – IN PERSON - 2027WKSP-05-02

IN PERSON: Bookbinding 3 with Timothy Dyck

Workshop offered by the Southwest Ontario Chapter in Owen Sound, Ontario.

Bookbinding 3 introduces the advanced techniques used for traditional leather-covered, fine binding structures, such as leather paring, lacing-in of boards, back cornering and covering-in on the book.

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.

Introduction to Leather will focus on the different types of leather appropriate for bookbinding and paring techniques used in bookbinding.

Bookbinding 3 is one of the core courses required for the CBBAG Certificate and is a good opportunity to build on BB2 skills and progress in the practice of bookbinding by hand.

This workshop is being offered as part of an educational programming series called BiblioArts that is hosted by the Georgian Bay School for the Arts in Owen Sound, Ontario.

Timothy Dyck has an MFA in printmaking and studied bookbinding in Montreal. He runs his own studio as well as an art supply shop which can be found at thecolourjar.ca in the small town of Durham ON. Being active with the CBBAG Southwestern Ontario Chapter, he now teaches the core curriculum and other workshops in various locations in Ontario and Manitoba.
