CBBAG SWO Bookbinding 1 

Bookbinding I is considered the fundamental course of the CBBAG curriculum by teaching terminology, materials, tools, techniques, and basic concepts. The course includes six components: setting up the shop and tools; materials and techniques, making a picture frame; sewing variations, endpapers; book cloth and board; making the case; hanging-in the text block, adhesion; and expansion and contraction. This course includes pamphlet sewing, lap stitch sewing, quarter, half, and full cloth case binding; and concepts of grain, warp and pull, swell, and the joint.

As a core course of CBBAG, completion of Bookbinding I will be credited toward the CBBAG Certificate of Completion. [See www.cbbag.ca for further information about the Certificate of Completion.]
