What
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.
Mike (earthshine) and Adrian (artag) have expressed interest in repairs, so I will discuss them at the end, but I think it might be difficult to do a "practical" on this.
When
This will take a long afternoon and you will leave with a small notebook.
The date for the first session has been set to Sunday 24th April starting at 2PM.

Any dates: Mark Stanhope can make any dates.
Cost
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.
Level of preparedness
- Lester has lugged the bookpress to the space. (It is not THAT heavy but is quite unwieldy, please take care when moving)
- Lester still needs to make pinch boards and find materials.
