One that\u2019s special to you that you\u2019d like to switch up from soft to hard cover? Give it a second life in the workshop \u201cOn the Rebound: Book Makeovers.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\n\tThe event will take place from 4 to 5:30 p.m. June 9 in the Text &amp; conText Lab on the third floor of Hillman Library. It will be facilitated by Amanda Hudgins from the Center for Creativity.<\/p>\n<p>\n\tTransform a worn or paperback favorite into a beautifully rebound hardcover edition with simple bookbinding materials and techniques. Bring a treasured novel from home or choose something from our collection, and leave with a one-of-a-kind custom binding you made yourself.<\/p>\n<p>\n\tAlong the way, explore the creative possibilities of repair, reuse, and reinvention while learning foundational bookbinding skills that connect to other making processes like paper marbling, printmaking, and cover design.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\n\tNo prior experience required. Just bring your creativity, and maybe your favorite dog-eared book.<\/p>\n<p>\n\t<a href=\"https:\/\/calendar.pitt.edu\/event\/on-the-rebound-book-makeovers\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Register through the University calendar<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Do you have a well-loved book, maybe one you\u2019re afraid to read again because the cover is falling&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":207818,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[1594,10605,497,3398,73,75,74,1164,3315,10604,10603],"class_list":["post-207817","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-pittsburgh","tag-college","tag-graduate","tag-learning","tag-pitt","tag-pittsburgh","tag-pittsburgh-headlines","tag-pittsburgh-news","tag-research","tag-students","tag-undergraduate","tag-university"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/207817","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=207817"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/207817\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/207818"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=207817"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=207817"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=207817"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
