This workshop is aimed at beginners and anyone unfamiliar with the process of making a solander case. These cases were originally designed in the eighteenth century and are used for storing prints and precious books.  They can also be used to house an edition of personalised stationary made during a letterpress workshop. I make these boxes from grey board covered with paper and book cloth or buckram. 

Tuition lasts a day.  All materials and lunch are included in the price.  You can choose to tack this workshop onto the end of a bookbinding course so you can make a case tailored to house the book you have made. 

I can also run workshops on making slip cases and a Japanese style wraparound case, called a maru chitsu, which is often used to protect a collection of Japanese stab bound books. If these alternatives interest you, please contact me and I can send you more details.
