BRADEL BINDING with GLENN MALKIN

Price

£35 + £10 materials fee = £45

The Bradel binding is a version of a case binding used extensively on the continent. However, there
appear to be several approaches to its construction including this fabulous one where the spine
and boards are applied to the book block separately. This gives the opportunity to incorporate
design elements using different materials for the spine and the boards not easily possible on a
standard case binding. The workshop will include sewing and rounding an unsupported book
block, spine construction and covering the boards before putting the binding together.
