Six Case Styles for the Board Book

Course location Ascona

The board book, also known as the flat book, is a very practical structure that has been used in industrial binding for many years as, for example children’s books or more recently some printed photo books. It can also be a very practical and versatile structure for the hand binder. In this workshop we will learn the basic techniques for making a board book and construct book blocks in various ways based on the size, form and paper. Subsequently we can focus our energy on making six different case styles from the simple to the elegant. Through creative case design, we will turn the simple board book into something quite extraordinary!
