It’s hard to imagine that such beautiful patterns were never meant to be seen! These formerly hidden bindings were created around the eighth century; it was a time when books became larger and heavier, which required them to have stronger structural support. As a result, hard wearing stitch patterns were used to bind the signatures and were then covered over with a spine to protect them. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIn this multi-session class, local book artist Kristen Lewis focuses on a stitch pattern she calls “starburst”. The pattern is more ornate and offers more decorative possibilities than the better known Coptic binding. Kristen discusses ways to take this decoration even further, like adding contrasting elements behind your stitches. Talk about a wow factor! \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThere are two live Zoom sessions. They’re supplemented by two video instruction sessions so that you can do your homework at your own pace. During the first of the live sessions, you’ll share your prepared covers, go over pages and registration, and discuss structure, form, and function. During the week you’ll work on binding your covers and the prepared signatures of pages together. The second live session pulls everything together. It’s a chance for everyone to check in, ask questions, and share what they discovered – both challenges and surprises. It’s also a time for Kristen to show inspiring variations on the project.
