Secret Belgium Binding Jackie Hefty Challenging yet beautiful to behold; front cover, spine, and back
cover, all held together with a lacing pattern. Signatures sewn to laces. The width of the spine is determined
by the thickness of the signatures (text block) which is determined by the weight/thickness of the paper and the number of
signatures. You determine it all with your choice of papers/materials available. Shown here with 90# watercolor
paper. Book may be opened fairly flat. Many holes to punch, bring your Japanese Hole Punch if you have one.

As
another year comes to a close, here's
wishing you a warm, happy, and healthy holiday season. Thank you for your continued interest and support of Whispering Woodlands programming. Happy New Year!
Just a little note: Many of the classes I personally offer are meant to provide a progression
in the inter-related book arts opportunities. It is not necessary to take them in any specific order, but understand
they are complimentary in nature. By taking a decorative paper workshop, you may utilize your work
in a book structure as text pages, end sheets or as a cover. Likewise, by taking papermaking you may use the results in a
book or as a substrate for a print, drawing, painting, or with letterpress.
Think of them as part of, or a means to an end, not the end in themselves. (not that many can not stand alone and be
appreciated as completed work) It is also for this reason I repeat some foundational workshops more often. Understanding the
method to my madness may be helpful when making workshop choices.
