Course Code: 26SBB010I

This one-day in-person workshop takes place at CBA on Friday, May 1st, from 11AM to 7PM ET.

  • Friday, May 1st, from 11AM to 7PM ET

Please Note: Registration for this workshop closes on April 17th at 11:59 pm.


About the Workshop:

In this one-day, in-person workshop, participants will create a softcover binding that connects and separates two distinct book structures—a sewn signature book and an accordion-structured book—allowing them to function as a unified whole or as two independent books. The result is a thoughtful dialogue between the two formats, with heavyweight paper covers suitable for handmade editions, library copies, or artists' books, incorporating innovative and creative aesthetic elements.

For the cover, we will use a structure called LINK in-1, which connects the design of the front cover with the inside design of the cover, creating a related yet distinct repetition of the original motif. It allows for multiple variations through folds and cuts. Students will leave with a unique book structure and the knowledge to re-create it again and again! View a video example of this book structure here!


Required Materials:

  • 10 signatures made with 120 gsm paper
  • 1 piece of 120–140 gsm paper, 13 cm high × approximately 70 cm long
  • 3 pieces of paper in a color of your choice, ideally around 240 gsm. 14 cm high × 40 cm wide 
  • 5 additional pieces of paper of any weight and color to create cover mock-ups and explore the LINK in-1 structure.

Perfect Fit and Versatile for All-Day Wear
Size: Small, Color: White/Cerise Assorted
I absolutely love these socks! Though they're technically kid-sized, they fit my size 5-6 women's feet perfectly and are incredibly versatile. I wear them for workouts, casual outfits, and pretty much all the time. They’re reliable, well-fitting, and comfortable throughout the day. The quality is excellent, and they hold up well even with frequent use. If you’re looking for socks that combine great fit with durability and style, these are definitely a top pick!

Great fit, no slip
Size: Medium, Color: (025) Castlerock / Castlerock / Anthracite
These looked too small for my feet, but now I love wearing them as they are comfortable and stay on my feet! They look great and the colors are easy to match. Excellent value for the money in my humble opinion.
