SUMMARY:Welcome to Book Arts
DESCRIPTION:Introduction to Bookbinding & Letterpress Materials\, Tools & Techniques \nThis free\, hands-on class provides an introduction to letterpress basics and bookbinding. Participants will learn about locking up a form on the press bed\, inking the press and “pressure” considerations in order to then pull several prints. Other aspects of letterpress printing will be reviewed\, such as metal and wood type\, how type drawers are organized\, and setting type and spacing material in a composition stick. The bookbinding portion of the class covers paper grain\, folding\, scoring\, and how to use a bone folder\, utility knife and awl. Participants will bring home a simple pamphlet-stitched booklet of their making as well as several single-sheet zine models. All tools and materials will be provided. \nVBA is committed to the accessibility of this historic resource and offers this workshop for free. However\, registration is required. Registration is a commitment to attend the class so that the instructor can prepare the necessary materials. We will send out a reminder before the class date. Please note that we often have a waiting list for this class so it is important to let us know if you need to cancel! \nInstructor: Lyall Harris \nFree\, registration required. \n

SUMMARY:Introduction to Paper Making
DESCRIPTION:In this introductory class you will learn to make paper that incorporates recycled papers\, flowers and other fibers. You will bring home several sheets made in class\, and we will construct a simple pamphlet book with pre-made paper similar to the ones you will create. You will learn the basics of paper making\, how to make paper pulp and how to use paper making tools. \nWe will gather at Erica’s home to have room to spread out and have easy access to water. Feel free to bring materials from home such as yarn\, egg cartons\, or colored paper. Petals or leaves from your own garden can work for inclusions.  We will explore\, have fun\, and see what turns out. \nPlease note: This class will be held at the instructor’s home in Charlottesville\, not at VBA. Prior to the class\, you will receive an email that contains the address of the workshop. \nPlease bring a bag lunch/snack. Class fee includes $10 materials cost. \nInstructor: Erica Goldfarb \n  \n
