Camille, a bookbinder in Nancy, offers several workshops to help you discover different bookbinding techniques. In this one, she’ll introduce you to the flat-bound method, and help you make your own notebook!
Trained in bookbinding at the École Tolbiac and holder of the « brevet des métiers d’art », Camille will introduce you to the tools of the bookbinder and the machines: the guillotine, the shears, the percussion press, the backing vice… You’ll learn how to find the direction of paper and cardboard, and how to differentiate between leathers. Learn more about book assembly techniques. Folding, cutting, drilling, sewing, gluing, binding… you’ll know all about it!
Camille will guide you and give you all the advice you need to make a success of your book. Thanks to its hard cover and soft spine, this notebook will come in handy every day for writing or drawing, with the added pride of having made it yourself! Camille will provide you with the tools and materials you need in her workshop, so you can work together to create this unique notebook.
