The American Academy of Bookbinding has had its struggles and its successes and we are proud of the history behind us and eager to continue our offerings of quality programs and courses moving forward. What a history! As a relative newcomer to AAB (three years already!), I found its history fascinating and I believe you will too as you read the first half of our anniversary book Imagine a Beautiful Book. I believe you’ll also enjoy the second half which documents a comparative study of the differences and similarities of our two illustrious design binders, Monique Lallier and Don Glaister. Producing this book was a tremendous undertaking and I thank every one of the team spearheaded by Susan Hulme of Blue Marigold Press for creating such a fine commemoration. Looking to the future, AAB is in the development stage of an exciting new diploma program – a comprehensive study of bookbinding encompassing a broad spectrum of courses from fine binding to conservation. We are pleased and honored that Peter Geraty has accepted the directorship of this program. Look for detailed information and requirements on our website in January of 2014. DEB STEVENS – ADMINISTRATIVE DIRECTOR ADMINISTRATIVE DEB STEVENS – Though Don Etherington no longer wishes to teach in Telluride, we’re excited about his vital role in Summerfield as we extend his course offerings there. I had the pleasure of visiting Don and Monique in their home studio in 2013 and know our students will have the experience of a lifetime when attending courses there. I thank them both for their enduring commitment to the profession and to the academy. Our “umbrella” organization, the Ah Haa School for the Arts, welcomes Judy Ko- hin back as its executive director! For most of our twenty years, Judy’s life and passion was intricately entwined with Ah Haa and AAB as she was a major influ- ence in the growth of both schools. She’s back from a sabbatical and once again contributing her wonderful energy to the benefit of the arts and I feel very fortunate to be working with her again. 2013 has been a year of excitement to be sure! We’ve had wonderful instructors, great classes and motivated students. We look forward to 2014 as we continue to respond to and work with, you, the students. Deb Stevens, administrative director, AAB

But there are many more uses for leather boxes than to house special books. Portfolios of prints or photographs, manuscripts, valuable ephemera or books that should not be rebound all can be collected and stored in leather presentation boxes. This offers elegant protection for the object as well as an opportunity for binders to work with objects otherwise not available to them. In this class, we will make leather clamshell style boxes for two books. Students will be taught how to measure and cut materials accurately, how to prepare and apply leather to their boxes, and if time permits, explore simple decorative techniques applied to the outside of their boxes. Some experience with leather bookbinding is required for this course.

FUNDAMENTALS / Intermediate Fine LEATHER Binding MAY 26 - JUNE 6 | DON GLAISTER This is an entry-level class for the fine binding and comprehensive programs as well as an intermediate class for continuing fine binding students. In this class, students will learn and develop an understanding of traditional bookbinding techniques, beginning with a laced-on, leather covered board structure. The class will introduce and further acquaint students with techniques needed in future fine binding and specialty courses at the Academy. Students will become familiar with hand sewing using a sewing frame, rounding and backing, edge decoration, weaving headbands, as well as leather paring and applying leather to their books. The focus of the class will be on learning and reinforcing sound bookbinding techniques with special emphasis on working with leather. All students will complete at least one full- leather book in the course. Some more experienced students may be introduced to simple design elements such as embossing if time allows. No fine binding experience is needed for beginning students. Those new to AAB who wish to take the class as an intermediate student must first send samples of their work for evaluation. This course and may be repeated as needed or desired.

Emphasis will also be placed on binding design and design execution. Some of the more advanced techniques that may be explored are: elaborate woven headbands, edge gilding, gold, blind and painted tooling, inlays and onlays of leather or other materials. Students will work independently on their particular projects, with close monitoring and guidance from the instructor. They will be encouraged to explore various design concepts and decorative techniques, depending upon their level of experience and expertise. The class may be used as a review of the binding process or to concentrate on a few, or even one specific technique. The AAB Fundamentals / Intermediate Binding class, or equivalent, is a prerequisite for this class and it may be repeated as needed.

BASICS IN PAPER CONSERVATION TELLURIDE FALL COURSES NOVEMBER 10 - 14 | RENATE MESMER Participants will learn various repair techniques for tears and losses, humidification, basic washing and deacidification of paper. Morning lectures will cover history of paper making, basic paper chemistry, material studies as well as damage analysis and condition reports. The goal of this course is to apply as much of the theory in hands-on treatments as possible and give ample time for practice. Students who are interested in a diploma program should bring 3 textblocks in need of treatment and sewing, preferably not more than on inch thick and 12 inches tall. If possible, the texblocks should have been printed before 1850. No prior conservation experience is necessary to attend this class. It is highly recommended that students in this course attend the Fundamentals of Bookbinding or equivalent class first. Students are encouraged to take the follow-up class. APPLIED PAPER CONSERVATION - INDIVIDUAL PROJECTS NOVEMBER 17 - 21 | RENATE MESMER Continuing Paper Conservation students have an opportunity to expand and deepen their knowledge through practical application working with projects of the student’s choice. Projects may consist of books, maps, prints, drawings and other two-dimensional paper objects. Projects should be achievable within the scope of the student’s current working knowledge and experience and the time allotted. Selected projects may include some challenging elements for individual student growth but care should be taken to avoid complex tasks and techniques that are too advanced for the student’s level. Tape removal will not be addressed in this class. Students will be expected to prepare pre-treatment reports along with before photos prior to class. Working with the instructor, treatment options will be discussed and determinations for treatment will be made. The lab may include advanced paper chemistry, material studies, damage analysis, decision methodology, as well as the pros and cons of different treatments. Treatments will include a wide variety of washing and drying techniques, paper repairs, lining as well as sizing.
