Being able to make book cloth immensely expands the range of possibilities for the materials in your bookbinding, opening up a whole new set of choices for cloth color, texture, and weight. Many types of cloth can be made into excellent book cloth and create a unique look to your books. In this workshop, students will learn how to make book cloth in two different ways from start to finish, and leave with many finished samples. Learning objectives include: Learning to make bookcloth on their own with commercial fabrics of all kinds, and tips and tricks for best results.
