Bookbinding in Malvern (2)

This is the result of my efforts at the Bookbinding workshop.  Anna had cut out most of the constituent parts and all we had to do was assemble them, but I struggled.  The book is quite small, but the leather feels fantastic.The little catch used plaited leather and a curtain ring.  A pin was hammered into the edge of the front cover as a closure.

Have decided to enrol for the course starting in September for two and a half hours each week until December.  I think the idea is that you do your own thing so I will need to decide what I want to achieve.  It must include an embroidered cover of course and I want to learn the technique of stitching the signatures together which make up the inside of the book.
