People have
been using bone for so long that they have an almost genetic attraction to
it. In this workshop we will shape and
polish elk and deer bone to make tools and/or art. Those who want can make awl
handles and then choose a point that Jim will set in the handle. He will teach
sharpening if anyone wants.
Bring: Tools

Wooden Board, Textile Spine Longstitch with Jim Croft
Sunday,

materials fee, to be collected at the workshop
A textile spine
is strong, flexible and doesn’t care how many holes you punch into it. Using wood for covers results in a quickly
made, durable book. To make it, you need
only a bone folder, thread, needle, and maybe an awl. The book can be made with a rounded spine that
has a natural shoulder, if desired.
Class will
begin by sewing into a pre-made case. Later,
students can make their own case, even splitting their boards. Or the student can start with covers already
cut to size that will only need final shaping.
Copy paper will
be provided. Or bring your own 4½ x 5½ sections, approximately one inch thick.
