Course Code: 26SBB010I

This one-day in-person workshop takes place at CBA on Friday, May 1st, from 11AM to 7PM ET.

  • Friday, May 1st, from 11AM to 7PM ET

Please Note: Registration for this workshop closes on April 17th at 11:59 pm.


About the Workshop:

In this one-day, in-person workshop, participants will create a softcover binding that connects and separates two distinct book structures—a sewn signature book and an accordion-structured book—allowing them to function as a unified whole or as two independent books. The result is a thoughtful dialogue between the two formats, with heavyweight paper covers suitable for handmade editions, library copies, or artists' books, incorporating innovative and creative aesthetic elements.

For the cover, we will use a structure called LINK in-1, which connects the design of the front cover with the inside design of the cover, creating a related yet distinct repetition of the original motif. It allows for multiple variations through folds and cuts. Students will leave with a unique book structure and the knowledge to re-create it again and again! View a video example of this book structure here!


Required Materials:

  • 10 signatures made with 120 gsm paper
  • 1 piece of 120–140 gsm paper, 13 cm high × approximately 70 cm long
  • 3 pieces of paper in a color of your choice, ideally around 240 gsm. 14 cm high × 40 cm wide 
  • 5 additional pieces of paper of any weight and color to create cover mock-ups and explore the LINK in-1 structure.

Excellent sun protection with a lightweight, non-greasy formula. It feels great on the skin and has become a staple in my daily routine. Will buy again!

Terrible white cast
Size: 1.7 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
You will look like you just got blasted by Jack Frost in the middle of the summer. This sunscreen could double as a hair identifier from the way it clings to each strand, leaving an incredibly noticeable white residue. I am very fair and on my skin itself the white cast is much less obvious/fades, my eyebrows on the other hand? Frostbitten. Snow swept. Bringing to mind polar bears and penguins. It's an alright sunscreen. Does the job. Does not look good while doing it.

Great Product

Most importantly, this stuff works! And I absolutely love that it’s not greasy. My face isn’t shiny or slick when i apply it. I’ve had no issues with my skin tolerating this sunscreen.

Great daily sunscreen with lightweight feel
Size: 1.7 Fl Oz (Pack of 1), Size: 1.7 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I’ve been using this sunscreen daily and I really like it. It feels very light on the skin, absorbs quickly, and does not leave a greasy or heavy feeling. It also works well under makeup and does not cause breakouts. I feel my skin is well protected from the sun and it’s gentle enough for everyday use. I highly recommend it for anyone looking for a reliable sunscreen.

Great for oily acne-prone skin
Size: 3 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I have oily, acne-prone skin, and this sunscreen has worked really well for me. It doesn’t feel overly greasy or too dry, and it sits nicely on my skin without making my face feel heavy. I’ve been using it for a long time, and honestly, it’s the only sunscreen I keep going back to because it works so well with my skin. It feels comfortable for daily use and gives good protection without causing extra breakouts for me.
