In the #2 class, we take it a step further. We stay in the family of simple binding, but in this workshop we already start doing the first steps of processing a cover. Also the binding technique is a little more decorative and difficult (chain-stitching, ect). it is recommended to already have a little knowledge (Workshop nr°1 required). this technique is also easy to do at home without special binding materials.
*** a breef history … texts were bound together to store all knowledge and information. the bookbinding techniques evolved with the paper, ink and printing techniques. in the beginning, people bought the text pages from the printer or publisher and they went to the bookbinder who bound the pages together, depending on their resources, the bookbinder could finish the books with different cover + material techniques.
