Japanese silk and other commercial book cloths can be beautiful, but have you ever seen a fabric you like and wished you could use it to make your own book cloth? This short class will teach students a quick and successful technique for backing their own fabric. Learn what to do and what not to do, which supplies will end in success and which will almost always guarantee failure. You’ll go home with your own cloth and some sample cards to refer back to when you make more cloth on your own.
Level: This class is appropriate for students at all levels.

Julie Sullivan began taking bookbinding classes in 1993 as a creative counterpoint to a stressful corporate job. In 1997 Julie began an apprenticeship of sorts with Dallas, Texas, bookbinder Catherine Burkhard, assisting her with private client projects under her supervision. Julie continued weekly bookbinding study for many years and also improved her skills and learned new techniques through numerous workshops with experienced binders. She is a member of the Guild of Book Workers, past president of the GBW Lone Star Chapter and has attended numerous GBW Standards of Excellence seminars. Julie operates Dancing Cat Bindery from a home studio in South Austin where she repairs books and makes boxes for book dealers, collectors and private clients. In recent years Julie and her husband and illustrator Chet Phillips have collaborated to create limited edition books that Chet writes and illustrates and Julie binds.
