workshop bookbinding nR°3 / long stich, by tatsuya inuikawa from la rivière sèche
70€ (incl. material) / 14h-17h / no age / fr + visual language
now that we learned the tricks of the trade in nR°1 + nr°2, we can start binding a thicker book (by working with different quires).
Tatsuya teaches us the long-stitch binding, which has also endles variations (like the simple binding).
also this technique is easy to do at home without special binding materials. (Workshop nr°1, ideal nr°2 are required)
*** 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.
