Post Screw Album

November 19, 2015 @ 9:00 am - 3:00 pm

In one class, learn some basics of bookbinding, and go home with an album completed in one day. This structure allows for ongoing addition of pages, so you can make the album before you know how much it will need to hold! This is a good introductory course for becoming familiar with bookbinding materials and skills, including measuring, cutting, scoring, gluing and covering on book board.

Cost:  $105 (includes materials)

Dates:  Thursday, November 19 2015, 10:00am to 4:00pm

Please note that Museum Members receive 10% off the price of tuition. Advanced registration is required. Please call (713) 522-4652 to register
