2009 Maiwa Textile Symposium
Workshop
A wide variety of materials will be incorporated into the book projects: decorative papers, mounting film, book cloth, fabrics, book boards, text pages, linen threads, etc.
An accordion book, a simple journal approximately 5 1/2” x 7 1/4”, and an open spine book approximately 5 3/4” x 7 1/4” will be the main focus of the course. Many examples and visual aids will be on hand to help participants appreciate the materials, techniques, and resources available for bookbinding and journaling.
