Bookbinding workshop
Do you want to create something unique and personal that you will use for the whole next year? Then join us for our Bind Your Own Calendar workshop! In this workshop, you will learn how to create a beautiful and personalized calendar from scratch.
Majka and Ioannis will guide you through the process of selecting the right materials, deciding on all the details about your calendar, and stitching it together by hand. You will learn how to stitch on a sewing frame, how to add endpapers and covers to your book, and you will even have the chance to gold foil the cover!
By the end of the workshop, you will have a beautiful hand-stitched calendar that you can take home. You can also gift it to your friends and family as a unique and personalized present.
At the workshop, we will teach you:
- How to bind your own calendar, from beginning to end.
- The basic elements and terminology of a stitched book
- How to stitch a book on a traditional sewing frame
- How to finish and decorate the cover of a book
And all this with a cup of coffee and tea or a glass of wine in a friendly atmosphere in our studio.

Hi, Majka here! I am a graduate of the Eugeniusz Geppert Academy of Fine Arts in Wroclaw, Poland, and I am currently a doctoral student at this university in graphic arts. I am an artist, graphic designer, bookbinder, and paper maker. I work as a print technician at the Academy of Fine Arts in Wroclaw, and I am a co-founder of Misprint.
I create my works in many techniques, such as linocut, silkscreen, and metal techniques.
I am inspired by what is found in the Metaxy space; when a person is between two poles of existence: fragments, understatements, memories, traces, obliterations, and excerpts.
I have been working in artistic printmaking since 2009, constantly improving my skills and experimenting with form and techniques.
