Past Workshops with Donald Glaister held at the San Francisco Center for the Book
The San Francisco Center for the Book, The American Academy of Bookbinding and The Hand Bookbinders of California were pleased to welcome Master Binder and Artist Donald Glaister for two workshops and a public lecture at the San Francisco Center for the Book in April 2013.
LEATHER BOX MAKING WORKSHOP
Sometimes finely bound books have leather boxes made for them. But there are many more uses for leather boxes than to house special books. Portfolios of prints or photographs, manuscripts, valuable ephermera or books that should not be rebound all can be collected and stored in leather presentation boxes. This offers elegant protection for the object as well as an opportunity for binders to work with objects otherwise not available to them. In this class, students will make curved spine leather clamshell style boxes for books or other objects. They will be taught how to measure and cut materials accurately, how to prepare and apply leather to their boxes and, if time permits, explore simple decorative techniques applied to the outside of their boxes. Some experience with leather bookbinding is required for this course.
RECENT WORK AND CONVERSATION WITH DONALD GLAISTER
Recent Work and Conversation is the title of this free public lecture. Donald Glaister will show slides of recent work and preliminary working drawings and models for some of the books for discussion. This second part will tie in nicely with the B to Z Workshop.
