Bookbinding workshop slated

The .918 Club will offer a bookbinding workshop on Saturday, Aug. 19, from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the Ken Kulakowsky Center for Letterpress and Book Arts, 117 Parkside Ave., Lancaster. There will be a break for lunch.

This workshop will be taught by Historic Sugartown's resident bookbinder, Ramon Townsend. Townsend studied traditional bookbinding, printing, and related crafts under the Master and Journeymen Bookbinders and Printers in Colonial Williamsburg in the 1970s and '80s. After leaving the shop, Townsend continued bookbinding, making and repairing books, and conducting workshops.

The fee covers all workshop materials, and members of the .918 Club will receive a discount.

Space is limited to six participants. To register, visit heritagepressmuseum@gmail.com.
