San Diego Book Arts hosts workshop by Lucía Farías, with introduction to this structure "developed in the 14th Century and used widely for commonplace books." Students will sew text block on leather straps, which will be attached to the vellum cover, make one headband on a sample card, then sew headbands onto text block, ending up with "a finished limp vellum book." Bookbinding experience recommended. Workshop concludes on June 10, in McCoy House (across from Old Town Transit Center).
