This past August I spent a month that combined a week teaching with two weeks taking classes at the Montefiascone School in Italy, then flying across the Mediterranean to Cairo to spend the final week on something like a quest visiting the Coptic Museum to see and study the leather covers of the Nag Hammadi Codices. The Montefiascone School is directed by Cheryl Porter and takes place every summer in August. The course consists of four weeks of instruction, each week on a separate topic. The classes focus on historical bookbinding structures and related areas and you can register for a single week or all of them if you prefer. The proceeds from the workshop fees go to support the rescue of a white library (composed almost entirely of vellum and paper case bindings) housed in the local monastery. |
