From folding the paper to sewing and assembling the cover, you'll master every step. You'll also learn to add elements like marker tape and rubber bands. Then you'll make a box with a simple lid tailored for the book you've bound. You will also take measurements, calculate the size of the pieces, assemble the structure, and learn about the types of coatings and customization possibilities.
This workshop is perfect for anyone who wants to delve into both the world of bookbinding and cartoning, offering a wide range of possibilities in these areas. After this weekend, it will come out with a handmade gift, for you or to offer to someone else.
