Weekly bookbinding workshop

In this workshop, you will learn how to make a hardcover book, which is a durable and elegant type of binding that protects your pages and gives your book a classical look. You will also learn the basics of bookbinding, such as folding, sewing, gluing, and cutting. One of the best features of this workshop is that you will be able to choose from a wide range of materials that we use to create our books, including various bookcloths and decorated papers. You can mix and match different colors, textures, and patterns to make your book unique and beautiful, just the way you like it.

This workshop consists of 2.5-hour sessions, once per week for a month (total of 4 sessions). You will work on your book project step by step, under the guidance and help of Majka and Ioannis. During this workshop, we will provide you with all the tools and materials needed.

Come and learn the art of bookbinding with us.
