BOOK BINDING WORKSHOP
WITH LETICIA BURKARDT AND TIAGO CASANOVA

At a time when everything is done on the computer, the notebook has gained a new meaning. We want the notebook that accompanies us every day to be special, unique, just like an external memory to whom we entrust our ideas and thoughts. Learn how to make your own special notebook in this workshop.

It is an initiation workshop to three binding techniques: Japanese sewing, Coptic sewing and longstitch sewing. We will learn different ways of working with paper, understanding its characteristics, from folding to punching, from sewing to gluing.

In addition, we’ll also cover and learn different techniques forlining a hardcover book, with papers and fabrics, different sewing options and ways of assembling.

After this weekend, you’ll go home with a gift made by you, for yourself or for those you love.

 

Leticia Burkardt decided to leave architecture to devote herself to her long-time passion, books. She is the founder of Estúdio Bulhufas, where she develops and builds books using manual techniques combined with a contemporary look.

Tiago Casanova, photographer and visual artist, shares this passion for book publishing. In 2010 he founded Scopio Magazine, in 2013 the Livraria e Editora XYZ Books, in 2014 the cultural space A ILHA, and in 2017 the Estúdio Bulhufas.
