Interested in learning the basics of working with leather as a covering material for handbound books? Join us to learn Lili Sharp's interpretation of the Bradel Case binding, which veers from the traditional structure. The cover is built entirely off the book as a three-part case and the text block is then cased into it, which allows for the parts of the case to be covered in different materials and permits the binder to design the covers off the book. Participants leave the workshop with basic leather working skills and a three-piece Bradel binding.
