MONIQUE LALLIER:  LEATHER CHEMISE AND SLIP CASE
Monique Lallier, internationally recognized bookbinder and book artist, is
conducting a hands-on workshop for creating a chemise and slipcase.
Participants will make a chemise with the spine and fore-edge in leather, as
well as the opening side of the slip case. You will pare the leather to the
correct thickness using a Scharfix or a Brockman paring machine and a paring
knife. The chemise will be done over a book already bound, or a book with a
hard cover and rounded back. The book can be cloth- or leather-bound. If the
book is leather bound, similar or same leather should be used for the
chemise and case. Decorative paper will be used with the leather, and should
be in harmony. Paper will be used to line the case. Paper, suede, and/or
felt can be used to line the chemise.
This workshop is for intermediate & advanced bookbinders who have worked
with leather.
