My biblionautic chums and friends.
Even more preperation for a talk and demonstration on Minimalist Tight Flat Back artist's book in Oxford early next month.
* THE FESTIVAL OF BOOKBINDING: LECTURES AND DEMONSTRATIONS *
Designer Bookbinders & the Bodleian Library proudly presents a Festival of Bookbinding on 8th & 9th July 2022. The Festival will bring together lectures, demos, practical bookbinding sessions, mini demonstrations & a trade stand to help celebrate the opening of the exhibition “A Gathering of Leaves – the 4th Designer Bookbinders International Competition 2022”.
We're featuring each of the lectures & demos available for booking over the next few days. We continue with a demonstration by Fellow Mark Cockram (@markbookartist) on Fri 8th July, 1:30 – 3:30pm, “Minimalist Flat-Tight Back Binding”.
A demonstration showing a minimalist flat-tight back binding, incorporating laminated board attachment to cloth covered boards. The demonstration includes applied mixed media, and a Drum leaf Text Block. This is an introduction to a combination artist’s book that explores traditional and contemporary aspects.
Discovering his passion for bookbinding and book arts whilst working in Paris in the late 1980s, Mark enrolled on the bookbinding course at Guildford College, graduating in 1992. Mark’s oeuvre is exploratory and diverse being exhibited internationally with work represented in public and private collections. Since being elected Fellow of Designer Bookbinders, Mark has been a regular binder for The Booker Prize.
The Lectures & Demonstrations will all take place in the lecture theatre of the Weston Library, Bodleian Libraries (@bodleianlibraries) in Oxford. Tickets will be free but we welcome any donations to help cover costs – a donation can be added whilst booking:
Tickets for the lectures can be found below the “Courses, Masterclasses & Workshops” section, in the “Lectures & Talks” section. NB. tickets are not necessarily listed chronologically, so keep scrolling down if you're unable to find the event you're looking for.

Please note.... there are other studios/binderies doing stuff, spelling and grammar. Please further note, the opinion of the author may change at any moment. This is due to having an open mind of sorts.
