Workshops

[Immagine di Yu Cho per Craft Camp 2013]

Since 1992, we have been regularly involved in exhibitions, fairs and activities in secondary and primary schools in Turin and Piedmont, with the aim of bringing the public closer to the craft of bookbinding and make known the richness of the craft.

In collaboration with professionals and cultural associations, we deal with themes such as: 1) introduction to bookbinding or seminars on specific techniques; 2) decoration of the leather and the binding; 3) gilding, marbling and paper decoration; 4) thematic routes on the book: papermaking, typographical printing, calligraphy, bookbinding and boxmaking

We can organize small workshop seminars on specific topics for small groups, also in English or French.
