When you open the door at 35 rue de la Commanderie in Nancy, you’ll discover Camille’s bookbinding workshop. She’ll introduce you to her craft and the techniques of this ancient art. Trained in the art of 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…
