You will produce an example of an Islamic Binding which will incorporate an unsupported link stitch sewing structure, and typical two-coloured chevron endbands. Due to time restrictions, we will cover the book in a full cloth with a foredge/envelope flap and then apply our marble or coloured paper endleaves. As we proceed through each stage of the construction, we will discuss the many alternative historical techniques used and discuss any conservation issues which arise when working on these types of historical and cultural books.
