Bookbinding I Intensive 2003: august 24
When they say intensive at CBBAG they really do mean intense. This past week I finished my first bookbinding course. I learned how to stitch a few different pamphlets, I made a two-photo hinged photo frame; and two case-bound books. That's 5 days x 7 hours of instruction in one very hot bindery. I'm so glad that I did it though.
