Islamicate Bookbinding: Make an Illuminated Book
In this class, we will create a book using traditional Islamic bookbinding techniques, featuring the iconic envelope flap that is characteristic of Islamic book design. You will learn how to bind a model book from scratch, including making endbands, and you will have the opportunity to create a fine leather cover. To make the cover, we will use techniques such as stamping, onlay, gold painting on leather, and leather tooling. The end result will be a book that you can hold in your hands and cherish. You can use it as a notebook, sketchbook, journal, or to showcase your miniature manuscript paintings.
