June-July Calligraphy & Bookbinding Courses begin Next Week!

Hello friends,

Just a heads up about 4 new classes that begin next week at Binders.

We have two Bookbinding One classes: Tuesday afternoons and Tuesday evenings.

The Wednesday evening Italic class is full, but we've created a waiting list for an overflow class on Thursday evenings. To sign up for the Thursday night class, you'll need to contact Jacob Gunter at Binders to get on the list. We have two folks interested right now and all we need is a third for it to make.

Below is more information. Happy summer to all!!

Learn the fundamentals of making books and boxes in this class with a variety of materials and techniques. The anatomy of a book is fascinating, the covers, spine, folios, signatures, fly sheets, headbands and more are all waiting for your heart and hands. Folding, gluing and stitching goes a long way. Make wonderful gifts, sketchbooks and journals, photo albums, etc. The only skills required are a love of paper, attention to detail, patience and a need to share the FUN!

Calligraphy One: Italic with Anne Elser
6 Sessions | Beginner to Intermediate | Price: $190 | Min. 3/Max. 7

The Italic calligraphic hand is one of the most widely used and versatile alphabets around. It is highly legible and can easily be dressed up or down. Italic is the perfect hand to learn for the beginning calligrapher yet versatile enough to experiment with for the advanced. Students will be given handouts and guide sheets, learning the upper and lower case characters. We will also address spacing and layout for addressing envelopes. Calligraphy is less about pretty handwriting, but more about DRAWING each and every letter. It's about establishing a pacing and rhythmic motion as you write - giving you a consistency of shapes and letters, and spaces in between words and lines.
