Last Saturday I spent a delightful, challenging and enjoyable day in a workshop run by the Canberra Craft Bookbinders' Guild. Tutors, Vicki and Leharne, worked out how the complex sequence of scores, folds and gluings made up the Onion Skin binding and then taught it to the class. What an undertaking!
The Onion Skin Binding Single Sheet was invented by Benjamin Elbel who has a bindery in Amsterdam. The structure grows from the inside to the outside, gradually incorporating the single sheets into a continuous stub.
For other interesting bindings by Benjamin Elbel see the Elbel Libro Bookbinding website.
Thanks again Vicki and Leharne.
