Book Binding (4 credits)


Students
- know how to describe the role of binding in the structure of a book
- know how to recognise various binding styles and their special characteristics
- know how to use a suitable binding style for each book
- know how to bind a book using their chosen method

In this course, students will learn how to bind a book using a method of their choice, identify different binding components, justify the use of various binding techniques, and understand the importance of binding in the overall structure of a book. As the course progresses, students will also explore additional bookbinding methods and their specific uses.

The course is divided into two parts, which together provide a comprehensive learning experience:
1) Part one (Studio Portfolio 1) includes an orientation day and independent work, during which students prepare for the bookbinding workshop by producing and submitting the required materials.
2) Part two (Studio Portfolio 2) features a workshop where students learn the fundamentals of bookbinding. Initially, students will bind a draft book using a guided technique, followed by binding their own book using a method of their choice.

Assessment criteria

The assessment will be based on the completed book (50%), participation (25%) and reflective skills (25%), and will be graded on a scale of 1-5. 

The emphasis on visual work is 50 percent.
