About the Workshop:
In this three-session workshop with CBA instructor Scott McCarney, we will be making three"lay-flat" books popular with photographers and printmakers. These techniques are related in their ease and ingenuity of assembly: a Japanese Album, a Japanese Butterfly book, and a Drum-Leaf binding. All three books join single folded folios in distinct ways, the Drum-Leaf being a hybrid combination of the Album and Butterfly. All three use a minimum of glue, limiting the amount of moisture introduced to the book block which speeds the binding process considerably. The Drum-Leaf book is cased into an easily assembled quarter-cloth cover with a throw-back spine. Since each page spread is a single folded folio, it allows images to be printed across the gutter with no interruption, making it very popular with printmakers and photographers. Once completed, the book lies flat when opened, making it very popular with viewers.
Session one: We will make a Japanese album and a Japanese butterfly book. We’ll also make covers for these books using the “drumming” technique.
Session two: We will “drum” a stack of folded folios to create the book block for the Drum-Leaf binding.
Session three: We will make the cover and case-in the Drum-Leaf book block.
