About the Workshop:
The Flex Spine Album and Contemporary Approaches to Codex Structures
Set aside for a moment your traditional notion of a bound book and start from a different perspective: consider what a codex is, what it should be
able to do, and how it should function. How would you like to be able to interact with it? How should the STRUCTURE work in order to best integrate
with and present your CONTENT?  During this workshop we will learn a new binding technique that was developed as an answer to some of these questions.

The Flex Spine Album is a structure where thin, rigid rods provide the backbone for signatures, folios, or even individual pages. The signatures are then woven together
with a fine polyester band in order to create a very stable and flexible binding that does not require adhesives or a lined spine. The Flex Spine Album functions with an elegant ease, is very versatile and can be adapted to fit many different requirements. Aside from being an ideal album structure, it is also a wonderful structure to accommodate heavy printmaking papers, or for the artist who works with collage and mixed media.

During the workshop we will also take the time to learn about a number of interesting materials that may be new to your binding lexicon. We will take a look at how to work with an integrate materials such as carbon rods, fiberglass, acrylic, as well as some beautiful and ecologically produced fish leathers. All levels welcome.
