I wish we could have handled some books. And a brief binding workshop would have been delightful and instructive. There is no time, I know, but a little hands-on with the traditional equipment would be helpful. I used to resew and use needles in various ways, so it was easy for me to follow. Others had a bit more trouble.
Slides are great, but a feel for the tedium of the work can be had only at the set up.
It went a little too fast sometimes to take in all the information. These would be helpful, but I suppose that this is what our notes are for. I would prefer some 600 rather than 800, with more time per slide. The brain simply cannot properly process the visual aspects of the course as it is now structured. Nice to be able to use the BAP collections and talk with fellow students and instructors.
