Bookbinding Courses
Rosemarie is very excited to be able to offer bookbinding students, through the Sydney Community College, term-long courses that cover the basic skills necessary for traditional and contemporary binding.
After 7 years teaching, a close association has developed between the Sydney Community College and Rosemarie, which this year is allowing her to realise her desire to offer a structured series of courses in bookbinding, where students can receive a certificate of achievement in recognition of their studies.
In 2010, the "Introduction to Bookbinding" course will be offered on both Tuesday evenings and Saturday afternoons: these are 8 week courses covering the basic bookbinding skills. There will also be a "Continuing Bookbinding" course for people who have completed the Introductory course. In both courses, students can elect to have their work assessed and receive joint certificates from the Sydney Community College and Sydney Bookbinding (Rosemarie's registered bindery name).
The courses are taught by Rosemarie in her air-conditioned, fully-equipped, professional bindery above the Amazing Paper shop in Enmore. However, the courses are run under the auspices of the Sydney Community College and bookings can only be made through them. Term 3 Introduction to Bookbinding courses start: Tuesday 28th July and Saturday 31st July, and the Continuing Bookbinding starts Wednesday 28th July. For full details and bookings: www.sydneycommunitycollege.com.au, or you can call them on (02) 8752 7555.
