All who are vaccinated are welcome. Please call if you have questions. (802) 257-0003. Saturday & Sunday, JULY 17th - JULY 18th from 10am to 5pm:SEWN BOARD BINDING. In this workshop, we will make two beautiful little books using the sewn board technique first documented by Gary Frost. Each book opens flat for ease of use, with a drum-leaf style binding. Two different sewing techniques for the text block will be demonstrated. Cost includes two delicious lunches and all materials, though you are also welcome to bring favorite cover paper of your own. Total cost $180. ANNUAL OPB BOOT CAMP! Thursday, AUGUST 12th through Sunday, AUGUST 115th, 10-4 daily(with time to work on your own in the studio before/afterwards if desired).We will start by making painted paper of various kinds on Thursday (including paste paper, suminagashi marbling, and other techniques), and then create a beautiful "Book of Cards"--a hard-bound book with pockets that we will fill with a variety of cards you can use or save as models for future card-making. We'll explore origami forms, old Victorian cards, and techniques by binders such as Claire Van Vliet and Hedi Kyle. For artists from out of town, you are welcome to stay at Schoolhouse No. 10, neighboring the bindery. Total Schoolhouse cost for 3 nights is $600 (divided per person however those staying there choose). Cost for 4-day workshop is $400; 3 days $300, 2 days, $250. (Preference will be given to those who come for 4 days.) Price includes all materials and printed instructions along with most meals. Limited to 6 or possibly 7 students. I will probably teach other classes in the fall; I will send out another email when these are scheduled. Email me (Susan) at susan.bonthron@gmail.com to reserve space in workshops. Feel free to ask questions. I look forward to hearing from some of you soon! (As always, the options below are also available for scheduling a private workshop for you and your family or friends.) PAGE DOWN FOR DIRECTIONS TO BINDERY AND SCHOOLHOUSE NUMBER 10. Design Your Own Workshop Imagine sharing our cozy two-bedroom Schoolhouse with a friend or three in beautiful southern Vermont, and attending a book arts workshop of your own choosing. In addition to the regular classes listed on this website, you could design anything from a 2-night stay with a single day-long workshop to a 3 or 4 night retreat with a day-and-a-half to 3-day workshop. Weekdays or weekends -- your choice. Make paste paper or marbled paper, then use it to create your own journal. Or delve into pop-ups or tunnel books. Or treat an affianced couple to a weekend at the Schoolhouse where they can make their own wedding album. The Schoolhouse offers all the amenities (fully equipped kitchen and bath, wraparound decks with hot tub) in a secluded, beautiful rural setting a short walk from Otter Pond Bindery. Organic breakfast fixings provided, and gourmet lunch for each workshop day is also included. Call or email for details and rates. Here are a few of the many possibilities:
* The Tunnel's End: Imagine & construct a tunnel book with your own images (2 day wkshp).
* Book Arts for Teachers: Learn a variety of techniques for using book arts to enhance learning in the classroom.
