==What==


I seem (04 March 2011 AM) to have volunteered to run an "intro to bookbinding" class once I lend my bookpress to the Space.
I(Lester) seem to have volunteered to run an "intro to bookbinding" class once I lend my book-press to the Space. I could talk a bit about repair and show a few examples if people would like - at the end, after everyone's done their scratchbuild. Due to my limited energy, the large requirements for clean space, and having only one press I would not like to attempt to teach more than six people.


This will take a long afternoon and you will leave with a small notebook. I will need about £5 for materials to make sure I can get a consistent supply of good quality ones that will be easy to work with. It is possible to make books much more cheaply, but hard for me to run a class where everyone struggles with buckling boards, recalcitrant thread and glue-permeated endpapers! More cost details to follow.
