Class Description:
To assemble the cover for this variation, students will fold and weave a single sheet of paper back and forth creating a laced effect on the front cover.

The Cross Structure binding is a non-adhesive binding that offers much freedom to the text block. These 20th century designs created by Carmencho Arregui are greatly inspired by the Long Stitch bindings of the medieval era. It is suitable in conservation or new bindings, such as travel journals or decorative bindings. The structure is uniquely constructed by interlocking the front and back cover at the spine.
