16th Century Ledger Binding
September 27, 2026
10:00am - 4:00pm
In this workshop, students will create a model of a 16th Century ledger binding. This is one of many techniques that were used as stationery bindings and which often featured a recycled parchment cover with a leather toggle. We will make our own leather toggle and use real antique parchment documents for our cover material. (Alternative material can be made available if anyone does not want to work with animal parchment.) No experience necessary. All tools and materials will be provided.
Fee: $100 plus hst.
