A Fine Week for Fine Binding
 Friday, June 24, 2005
|
|
Thirteen students gathered at the Buescher State Park, Smithville, Texas, from April 17 -24, 2005, for a week of intensive study on fine binding technique.
Organized by Priscilla Spitler, the Fine Binding Intensive was held in a temporary bindery set up at the park’s old WPA recreation hall, with teaching assistance from professional binders Craig Jensen and Olivia Primanis. The class focused on the traditional English style of full leather binding, the method in which all three instructors were originally trained.
Students Anna Embree, Gale Flax, Karen Hanmer, and Jeff Hunt made the longest journeys for the intensive workshop, from Alabama, Virginia, Illinois and Utah, respectively. From around Texas participants were: Rose Harms, Sherry Barber, Jane Elder, Liz Hamel, Ingrid Karklins, Edward Kopinitz, Rollin Polk, Jane Ross, and Sialia Rieke (via Santa Fe). To view scenes from the workshop, visit the Fine Binding Intensive Album: April 2005.
Magic Chef
 
Laura Thoms worked her magic at lunchtime for hungry students of the Fine Binding Intensive. Laura was a participant of the summer 2004 pilot class on fine binding at the Hands On Studio. Austin's loss will be Iowa City's gain next winter 2006, when Laura enters the program at the University of Iowa Center for the Book.
