Here we have day one of the full leather binding class. We love a good diagram to start with! Students worked on pre-prepared book blocks and used machined headbands in order to concentrate solely on the leather binding techniques. Use of hot glue was included as well as sharpening knives with waterstones.

Second day of the clamshell box class. Followed by getting the dining room ready for dinner (ignore the breakfast things not yet put away) - the window is the big middle one in the outside view. Did I mention that we enjoy good food at Book Camp?

First day of the all-in-one clamshell box class. See, we did have some good weather!
