Book Binding Workshop

At a time when everything is done on the computer, the notebook has gained a new meaning. We want the notebook that accompanies us every day to be special, unique, just like an external memory to whom we entrust our ideas and thoughts. Learn how to make your own special notebook in this workshop.

It is an initiation workshop to three binding techniques: Japanese sewing, Coptic sewing and longstitch sewing. We will learn different ways of working with paper, understanding its characteristics, from folding to punching, from sewing to gluing.

In addition, we’ll also cover and learn different techniques forlining a hardcover book, with papers and fabrics, different sewing options and ways of assembling.

After this weekend, you’ll go home with a gift made by you, for yourself or for those you love.
