MAKING BOOK CLOTH(aka: fabric backing / fabric lining)
A playful workshop where you learn to create book cloth from your own dress fabric stash!
Make to take home:
- Up to 6 pieces of book cloth from your own dress fabric & extra supplied by TBS
- Finished pieces will be sized to make A5 portrait books or smaller
- All materials provided (with exception of your fabric, see below)
Bring with you:
- Dress fabric for your cover
- Up to 6x pieces approx A3 in size (bigger pieces can be cut down in studio on the day)
- Light to mid weight fabrics only
- Cotton or linen work well as they have a tight weave. No silks, satins or velvets
Learn :
- How to use bookbinding tools and materials
- About paper grain and weight
- How to back a dress fabric to create “book cloth”
- How to adapt these techniques to create at home
Skill Level: intermediate & upward
This is a great workshop if you have done some bookbinding before. You will learn how to easily turn dress fabric into cloth to enhance your binding aesthetics.
It requires a little confidence with adhesives, so it’s an advantage if you have done a workshop involving glue, or made book covers before.
It’s a great companion workshop for any of the other workshops, as your cloth can be utilized alongside your new book binding skills!
