1, 2, and 3-Section Sewings Book by Keith A. Smith

$30.00

Non-Adhesive Binding Volume II is a thorough text for sewing one, two or three sections onto continuous support paper or vellum covers. The sewing path of each book creates a decorative sewing on the spine. Described by text, diagrams, and photographs, almost all of the 122 sewings were devised as the book was written. In addition, there are 42 photographs of bindings by 22 contemporary binders. These sewings require no equipment—only a needle, thread, and scissors.

6” x 9” x 1”

*This item is eligible for a 10% membership discount.

Since 1967, Keith Smith has been making books. They range from artist books to poetry, textbooks, and dictionaries. He has made over 150 one-of-a-kind artist’s books, most of which are in his own collection and seen by only a handful of people. Smith has published over two dozen small editioned artist’s books and book-length poems and written ten small dictionaries to aid structure and vocabulary in his poetry.

Accessibility

MCBA believes that access to the arts and art education should be available to all individuals. Our facilities are ADA accessible and we strive to make our programs enjoyable for all. We are happy to provide special accommodations upon request.

Thank you

MCBA's educational and artistic programming is made possible by the voters of Minnesota through a Minnesota State Arts Board Operating Support grant and an Arts Education grant, thanks to a legislative appropriation from the arts and cultural heritage fund. Additional support is provided by other private funders, MCBA members, and individuals like you.
