The Dove Dale limp case: a sympathetic update of an 1884 binding
Presented by Karen Hanmer Saturday, January 9, 2021 1:00–4:00 pm, PacificTime Presented live via Zoom
Edward Marston’s 1884 An Amateur Angler’s Days in Dove Dale: Or, How I Spent My Three Weeks’ Holiday was issued in a simple folded limp vellum case printed in two colors. We will examine two examples from this edition of 100 before creating a low-adhesive, facsimile-ish version in a limp paper case.
Intended Students: Intermediate binders; beginners who are ready for a fast-paced workout to produce a simple structure; and anyone who wants to add another limp case to their repertoire.
Materials: Participants will supply and source tools and materials. A list of supplies will be sent one month before the workshop. A handout and the Zoom link will be sent the week of the workshop.
