The Cross-Structure is a contemporary non-adhesive binding that 
resulted from Carmencho Arrugui's study of pre-16th century bindings. 
This variation was developed by Hedi Kyle and uses on long strip of a 
heavy cover paper with paste paper patterns on both sides, folded in 
such a way that the covers are double thicknesses. The text block is 
sewn directly into the cover using strips that are laced through the 
spine and folded around to form a decorative pattern.

The Secret Belgian Binding is a historical binding, rediscovered by 
Hedi Kyle. It yields an attractive and very sturdy book with a 
decorative pattern of colored waxed linen threads on the spine. The two 
covers and the spine piece are constructed of binder's board covered 
with paper, other decorative paper or cloth; the three pieces are 
separate until sewn onto the text block. The text block is sewn 
separately, and then the covers are sewn on with a pattern of stitches 
that traps the spine in place.
Both workshops will be taught by Emily Martin.

I will also be giving a public lecture June 13, 2008, at 7:30 at the 
Athenaeum Music & Arts Library in La Jolla, CA. It is free to San Diego 
Book Arts members and the public.
