About the Workshop:

This in-person course at Center for Book Arts is taught by instructor Sarah Nicholls. 

The Cross Structure binding is a flexible, customizable non-adhesive binding.This 20th century design was created by Carmencho Arregui and is suitable for small editions, journals, and sketchbooks. The structure is constructed by interlocking the front and back cover at the spine, the inner signatures are sewn to the cover, and the book opens completely flat. Students will construct two different variations of this structure. Handouts will be provided so you can continue to work on your own.

Together, the instructor and students will construct two different variations on a non-adhesive binding. Students will learn to prep signatures, sew the multiple signatures, fold the covers, and sources for materials. This is a great skill for any bookbinder!

Great Accessory for your Petzzz! Also handy for other plush toys.
This set of pretend dog toys is cute! It's a great way to let your (*adult?) children indulge their imagination with their favorite plush toys. They were designed for Perfect Petzzz brand toys, but will "fit" just fine for any plush animal about that size (a foot long or so). > Food Dish A small metal dish filled with plastic kibble pieces that are then hot-glued down. I consider the glue a slight disappointment - it would have been neat to have been able to strew the food pieces around the bowl like a real puppy would! But at the same time I understand wanting to reduce choking hazards for young children, or losing the food pieces during play. > Treats A pair of translucent plastic dog bone 'treats' designed to resemble rawhide. The design of these treats REALLY hit the nail on the head. They're VERY convincing, and I've had to stop myself from experimentally nibbling on them. Make sure that your real dog does not eat these! They do seem a bit ragged though, but that only lends to the realism - real rawhide treats also become ragged as the dog chews on them, right? > Chew Toy Rope A small piece of rope with knots tied on each end. The material appears to be either cotton or soft polyester, making the rope pleasant and soft in the hand. The braiding job on it is good, making it quite tough. Definitely overkill for pretend play, you could play a tiny game of tug-of-war with this. The ends past the knots fray wildly, but if anything this just adds to the effect.

Looks so real!
These are so much fun! I got it for my child to use with her stuffed animals. Out dogs frequently walk up to the bowl thinking it’s food for them. I like that the dog food is all glued together so that it’s not individual pieces since it’s a toddler that plays with it. The bone treats are impressively realistic. I’m very pleased with my purchase. Great product at a great price.
