The Parchment binding

Course location Ascona

The course offers the opportunity to deepen your knowledge of working with parchment and expand your craftsmanship skills in classic bookbinding. Based on the technique of French fine binding, a parchment binding is created in six days, which is build directly on the book block.
The shoulders are worked at 90°, the covers are attached, and the parchment is carefully processed – the folds and creases are traditionally scraped out with glass shards. During the drying phase, a customised title label is created.
This course is for anyone with prior knowledge of bookbinding who would like to gain in-depth experience working with this special material.
