Book Binding #2

Bookbinding seemed to be a 'thing' for me last year. I led a series of workshops on making concertina books. Above, are the finished books.

 These were the book covers; fabric printed using collographs, onto re-purposed cotton.

 These are the original plates we made; sticking various flotsom and jetsam onto card, then varnishing them, once they were dry. We then painted fabric paint onto them, and printed onto cotton.

 The worktable.

 Above and below, are photos of the different prints made by the workshop participants. By sharing each others colograph plates, we could make a two-colour, two-patterned print. A lovely effect.

And everyone took home a completed book.
