The School for Bookbinding Arts

2025 Workshops
(updating still in progress…feel free to email us with any questions)
The School for Bookbbinding Artsts began in 2002 as the workshop division of Cat Tail Run Hand Bookbinding. Our goal is simple: to make the study of bookbinding and related crafts enjoyable yet substantive. Our workshops feature demonstrations of techniques coupled with supervised student practice time. The topics in our classes are sure to entice you whether you are interested in bookbinding or the myriad kindred topics that make up paper arts and book craft.

October 23 – 24 (Thurs – Fri), 9:00 a.m. – 5:00 p.m.
$295 + $65 materials
[materials fee due with tuition]…Long before Playtex sold our grandmothers on
the necessity of a “foundation garment” called
a girdle, medieval monks and the well-to-do of
Europe were sporting the latest fashion in books:
The Girdle Book. These books had naught to do
with undergarments but instead were worn on
the outside at the waist where they attached to a
“girdle” or belt. This way a monk or other devout
had no excuse for skipping a prayer time when theprayer book was attached right to them—and in the handiest way possible! This design is a book lover’s dream! Who needs a Kindle when there is a battery-less girdle book? Come join us for this enchanting class where you’ll sew and then leather bind a text into a girdle book—
complete with a colorful turban knot (also called a “woggle”) at the top. No prerequisite.
Super cool! If you take the Girdle Book class of
June 17 – 18 and sign up for Jeffrey Altepeter’s Clasp Making class of June 20 – 21, you can make a clasp for your girdle book!

The cherry on top will be setting type and then letterpress printing it for the title label on the front of your album! The marbling and letterpress portions of the class will give you a sound introduction to both of these crafts. This workshop is a satisfying journey from raw materials to a finished product. The result is a beautifully crafted blank album—all from your hands. No prerequisite.

As part of the class, the instructor will make available her collection of antique Japanese books to aid in the understanding of these structures.

This style is useful today as personal sketch books, field journals, and chapbooks. In this workshop, make your own retchōsō which consists of a sewn, multi-section text, covered in decorative Chiyogami paper.Distinctively, within the centers of the folded text sections lie tasseled knots that bring delight to the sewing structure. In addition to folding and sewing your text, you will also be printing the woodblock Chiyogami paper to use for the covers of the softbound retchōsō.
Lana will demonstrate the beauty of powdered raw pigments as she turns them into ink specially formulated for woodblock printing.

August 18 – 19 (Thurs – Fri) 9:00 a.m. – 5:00 p.m.
$295 + $55 materials [materials fee due with tuition]…Clamshell boxes are ideal for storing books as well as various kinds of loose materials. The proper construction of these book enclosures is an essential element of any bookbinder’s practice.
We place emphasis on the use of acid-free/pH-neutral materials and on the selection of box-making tools for the home-based studio. Anyone serious about bookbinding needs to be able to craft a solid clamshell box.
No prerequisite.

*Advanced Clamshell Tray Structures
Instructors: Jill Deiss & Mona Hayford
August 20 (Fri) 9:00 a.m. – 4:30 p.m.
$240 + $45 materials
[materials fee due with tuition]…This course delves into the construction of two alternate cloth-covered tray structures: the double-wall and the fourth-partial side. The double-wall has two layers of interlocking book board on its side rails something massive. The fourthpartial side tray, as its name suggests, encloses a portion of the spine edge of the lower tray (an area in most clamshell boxes left open to allow full access to the enclosed book). The additional partial side allows loose materials (for example: photographs, ephemera, or a two-volume set of books) to be held in the lower tray as the clamshell opens thus preventing them from spilling out. The gap in the partialwall side is meant to give good access for the hand in retrieving the materials. *Prerequisite: Cloth-Covered Clamshell Box Making

Chabako: The Japanese Tea Box
Instructor: Lana Lambert
September 18 – 19 (Thurs – Fri),
9:30 a.m. – 4:30 p.m.
$295 + $60 materials
[hold materials fee until class]…Historically the chabako or traditional Japanese tea box housed
the implements used in the tea ceremony. A similar chabako form was constructed specifically for the holding and shipping of tea. This structure is so ideal that larger ones came to be used for storing other foods and even for storing clothes! The interiors of the boxes are lined with tin or metal foil and the outside covered in decorative papers called Chiyogami.
Instructor Lana Lambert fell for Japanese tea boxes after seeing dozens of them stacked in a tea shop that sold teas from all over Asia. These stunning containers were full of different teas waiting to be scooped out for customers. The redolent shop had the feel of the most ancient and magnificent of apothecaries—and with the medicinal properties of tea, this wasn’t far from the truth. Lana used sheer restraint that day: while other customers were purchasing
scoops of the various teas, she only purchased two whole tea boxes. It’s like this when you’ve
been captivated. There is no turning back.
As this is a real tea box, you will be including traditional materials in the structure such
as wood, paper, laminated paper, decorative Chiyogami paper, along with a mirror-like metallic
lining. It is a sturdy box, ready for whatever job you give it. No prerequisite.

[hold materials fee until class]…This class is for students have had a introductory marbling workshop and would like the time to spend learning patterns they missed or wish to perfect.

Also in this class, students will be encouraged to solidify their skill sets with patterns they have not yet mastered. Further, students will be encouraged to meet the challenge of replicating a pattern multiple times, with as little variation as possible among the pulled sheets. This ability to produce a production run that is consistent in pattern and color is a difficult yet important skill for all marblers. *Prerequisite of Beginning Marbling or experience/instructor approval.
