City & Guilds Level 3 

Edge Decoration

Dates: September 10th Thurs - 1 day

An optional assignment in the City & Guilds Level 3 curriculum.

Page edges are another surface where the binder's creativity can shine but they are often overlooked.  They often act as an important protection barrier as well as being a key design element of a fine binding.  In this workshop, Kate will show you how to achieve the perfect glass smooth finish to your edges and work through a variety of decorative finishes, from basic sprinkling and sponging through graphite, marbling, paste, gauffering and gold leaf.

Price includes use of all tools and materials.

Taught by Kate Holland
