About the Workshop:

This in-person class at Center for Book Arts is taught by instructor Hadley Vogel.

This course is ideal for artists with a collection of prints or original works of art, like drawings, that are uniform in size and would like to bind them into a single catalog.

In this course artists will be creating cloth hinges attached to their print and then exploring a new technique to create a very minimal binding that does not require any special equipment. These books can be bound at home and create very sleek, minimal and elegant presentations of their work.


Required Materials:

  • Olfa snap-off knife, with replacement blades. 
  • A divider

All other materials will be provided by Center for Book Arts at no additional cost.
