Course Code: 26SBB010I

This one-day in-person workshop takes place at CBA on Friday, May 1st, from 11AM to 7PM ET.

  • Friday, May 1st, from 11AM to 7PM ET

Please Note: Registration for this workshop closes on April 17th at 11:59 pm.


About the Workshop:

In this one-day, in-person workshop, participants will create a softcover binding that connects and separates two distinct book structures—a sewn signature book and an accordion-structured book—allowing them to function as a unified whole or as two independent books. The result is a thoughtful dialogue between the two formats, with heavyweight paper covers suitable for handmade editions, library copies, or artists' books, incorporating innovative and creative aesthetic elements.

For the cover, we will use a structure called LINK in-1, which connects the design of the front cover with the inside design of the cover, creating a related yet distinct repetition of the original motif. It allows for multiple variations through folds and cuts. Students will leave with a unique book structure and the knowledge to re-create it again and again! View a video example of this book structure here!


Required Materials:

  • 10 signatures made with 120 gsm paper
  • 1 piece of 120–140 gsm paper, 13 cm high × approximately 70 cm long
  • 3 pieces of paper in a color of your choice, ideally around 240 gsm. 14 cm high × 40 cm wide 
  • 5 additional pieces of paper of any weight and color to create cover mock-ups and explore the LINK in-1 structure.

  • 30 cm square (preferably metal)

  • One or more acrylic markers for decorating the covers

Just what I wanted.
Color: Black, Navy Blue, Wine Red, Size: 5X-Large
These may have just become my standard shirt to wear. Feels good whether tucked or out. Drapes well and fits well. So far, I can see it adjust to the different undershirt I may wear. Will probably order another set in other colors and a back up set of the basics because they will get worn a lot.

Its alright
Color: Black, Size: 5X-Large
True to size per the size chart. The fabric is soft but it it feels cheap to me. It attracts lint but you can brush it off easily so its not the cheapest material I've dealt with. Also, it is opaque (not see through). There is no front/ back indicator either which is indicative of a cheap shirt in my opinion. Would be friendly for tag sensitive people (to stay positive).

Fuzzballs get wearing once
Color: Black, Size: X-Large
Very smart to wear, but the quality is terrible so after one wash the collar start fraying and fuzzballs start forming. Very disappointing.

Cool shirt
Size: X-Large, Color: Black
Very comfortable and light weight. The material is like a moisture wicking material and feels cool on my skin. The shirt stretches and moves with you and is nonbinding in the areas of your arms and neck.
