Glen Malkin (UK). The Origata Binding
This one-day workshop is suitable for the beginner to bookbinding as well as those with some experience.
We will be making the fabulous Origata binding - a relatively new book structure devised by Julie Auzillon in Paris, France.
It is ideal as a conservation binding as the book block itself can be removed easily without damage given there need be very little glue used.
This structure also lends itself to a wide number of variations in terms of design elements and materials used and can be used for single section books or thicker multi-section books.
At this workshop we shall be making my version of this binding which incorporates decorative paper pastedowns and a vellum spine created from old re-cycled legal documents.
Participants will need to bring along their usual bookbinding tool kit including the following tools: Sharp craft knife/scalpel, cutting mat, steel ruler, needle, piercing awl, tweezers, small glue brush and small amount of PVA, small piece of scrap greyboard. (Includes material cost of $100)
