Push open the door at 35 rue de la Commanderie in Nancy and meet Camille, who welcomes you to her bookbinding workshop to help you discover her craft. Join her to learn the techniques of this ancient art and 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 bookbinder's tools and machines: the guillotine, the shears, the percussion press, the backing vice... You'll learn how to find the meaning of paper and cardboard. Learn more about book assembly techniques. Folding, cutting, drilling, sewing, gluing, binding... you'll know all about it!

Camille will give you all the advice you need to make your criss-cross book a success. She'll guide you so that together you can make this notebook, which will not only be practical for everyday use, but will also make you proud to have made it yourself! What's more, you don't need to bring any supplies to take part in this workshop, as she'll provide you with all the tools and materials you need to complete your personalized project!
