Simple Printing Techniques
Printmaking is immensely satisfying and great fun to do. This will be an introduction to basic printing techniques that don’t require a press.
We will cut our own rubber stamps from easily available materials and use these to create repeat motifs which–printed onto painted papers-–are particularly suitable for the endpapers and cover papers used in bookbinding (and the stamps will be re-usable at home).
We will also experiment with monoprinting–single prints made directly from the inked plate–and simple relief prints. For those who haven’t done so before, there will the option to learn to make a soft cover pamphlet stitch book.
No experience is necessary. Please note that all the inks used are solvent free.
Sunday 17th April 10am-4.30pm (rescheduled workshop) £48 including materials and refreshments

Hi Kirsty I came across your blog while doing a Google search for "Pamphlet binding with hard cover"
ReplyDeleteIt seems you have taught people how to do this. I would really appreciate it if you could drop me a line letting me know HOW you get the v shape of the spine of the single section to "house" itself, in a stable i.e., 'non moving' manner, of a rigid spin casing ?
I did find a turorial through Bonefolder Journal, written by Barbara Tetenbaum ...but I just can not interpret what she is saying.
Yours hopefully
