Demonstrating prerequisites for new students with prior experience

The Intro 1 and 2 courses are requirements for new students with no experience, and many courses we offer require the skills learned in these courses as prerequisites. Make sure to check the course descriptions to see which classes have prerequisites before you register.

If your course has Intro 1 as a prerequisite, you must upload photos of 3-5 bindings that demonstrate proficiency in the following:
- Multi-section sewing
- Case binding
- Paper or cloth covered board
If Intro 2 is also a prerequisite, you must include a hard-cover rounded and backed binding with a leather spine, either laced-in or case bound.

Coptic bindings, accordions, single signature pamphlets, flag books, or other folded structures do not meet the requirements for testing out of Intro 1 and 2.
Please share a little about your bookbinding background, and what brought you to AAB (300 words max)*
