Join award-winning design binder Sol Rébora in a special webinar to add incisions to your bindings. You will be introduced to two distinct methods for creating surface designs through carefully crafted cuts. Sol will show you how to prepare boards for incision work and how to execute incision lines. She will share techniques for creating incisions directly into leather before attachment and surface preparation for painting. Attendees will leave with a foundational understanding of the incision decorating method and be prepared to incorporate this element into their own bindings.
