The drum leaf book is a slim lay-flat book made from lightweight watercolour paper. It’s an adhesive binding that is comparatively fast to produce – no sewing needed. The pages will be made from six pieces of 140lb cold pressed Canson Watercolour paper. This is an excellent book for drawing or painting. The breakaway spine will be covered in sturdy book cloth and for the covers there will be a selection of marvellous Japanese silk-screened paper Chiyogami. A huge variety of cover paper options will be available! Beginners are welcome. Students who have taken the sewn board book workshop will already know the breakaway spine structure.
