Masterclass Design Binding

Course location Ascona

This course offers a comprehensive introduction to the art of making and designing a traditional French binding. The bookblock is worked with stabs and sewn on hemp cords. The book is covered with box calf leather, while the endpapers are an elegant combination of leather and suede.
Another focus of the course is the development of an individual design concept. Special tools and plexiglass templates are used to create leather inlays.
This course is designed as an intensive immersion into the world of fine bindings and offers an in-depth exploration of traditional and modern techniques.
