Bone Tool Making
A workshop with Shanna Leino       
April 19 & 20
Smooth, polished to a shine and fitting perfectly in your hand — there 
is
nothing like the feel of a bone folder you make with your own hands. 
During
this two-day workshop you will be introduced to the tools and techniques
needed to form and finish bone folders of your own design. Simple 
methods of
adding ornament to your tools will also be demonstrated. No previous
experience is necessary. Bring some elbow grease and expect to leave 
with
two to three bone folders that will be beautiful to look at and 
wonderful to
use!

Shanna Leino is a book and tool maker living and working in 
Harrisville, New
Hampshire. Her love for early book structures such as the leather 
covered
Coptic and Ethiopian led her to tool making. There was a need for a 
tool she
didn’t have, and she found that making it was as much fun as using it.
Shanna has taught book making classes for Wells College, Garage Annex 
School
for Book Arts, Columbia College Center for Book and Paper Arts, and 
Penland
School of Crafts. Her book and tool work can be seen at 
www.shannaleino.com.
