Oxford Pulp Binding

In November of 2018 I went on my second weekend workshop at Green's Books. I enjoyed the experience so much I went out and purchased "Oxford Bookbinding 1500-1640" If you are interested in bookbinding Arthur Green does some wonderful workshops!


This was my first time using a sewing frame.







I am extremely proud of this work, although I don't think I would have done so well without Arthur's fantastic instructions and he also provides the history of the binding style which I find very interesting!


This was my first time pairing leather, and doing a leather bound book.




The following was the Single Section bind I did at Green's Books "Introduction to Bookbinding" workshop in October of 2018.



The last few workshops they have had unfortunately has not worked out with my schedule. 
  • Sewing a late-medieval Gothic binding
  • Non-adhesive binding with decorated paper covers, 

I desperately wanted to attend these. I hope he runs them again!
