This course teaches the techniques for the restoration and repair of cloth and leather bindings, using Japanese paper and linen for rebacking and other repairs. Matching repairs to the bindings colors will also be taught. On the final day, if time allows, students will complete a leather reback. Students should bring at least four books needing repair, two cloth and two leather, to work on during class. No prerequisite is required for this class, but experience in bookbinding is helpful. This class is open to all levels of bookbinders.
