Leather book binding
250,00€
Schedule:
One Saturday a month. From 12 noon to 7 p.m. With lunch break.
Material included.
In this course you will learn artisanal techniques to convert basic materials such as paper, cardboard, leather, thread and fabrics into unique and original bindings.
We will make an artist’s book using techniques that will allow you to fully open the book, since the type of binding that you will learn does not have any type of metal staple. This type of binding is the result of combining three different techniques: the Japanese concertina, the “perfect binding” (or “American binding”) and the sewn cover technique.
Next, you will discover different papers, which you can use for your publications and you will learn about different coatings and finishes.
You will also use the tools and materials you will need to embark on an artistic binding project.
You will learn to prepare the printed paper and you will work on the folding and gluing of your notebook.
As a final project we will have a unique and handmade product for you. We will have the possibility of applying engravings, dyes, colored letters in gold or silver and appliqués in brass metal.
