Workshop on non-adhesive bookbinding

Bokbindarkompetens / Jouper Design present

    "Loose and Simple Bindings 2"
    Bookbinding Summer Workshop
    Grafikens Hus
    Mariefred, Sweden
    July 28 - August 3, 2012

    Tutor: Cristina Balbiano d'Aramengo

The aim of this seven day workshop is to learn different types of
nonadhesive constructions very useful in all kinds of communication,
in book arts as well as in conservation bindings. All kind of
unusual booklets, envelopes, pamphlets, cases, folders and so forth,
based just on folding, cutting and sometimes sewing, without any
glue, will be made. New ways of thinking, tricks and techniques will
inspire you to continue develop your own personal style. During this
week of intense work we will deal with about 30 different models,
designed by Hedi Kyle, Cor Aerssens, Carmencho Arregui, Cristina
Balbiano d'Aramengo and more.

The themes explored are suited to anyone interested in paper and
book arts as well as anyone who might be looking for new ways to
present ideas and projects.

We welcome participants from all related professional fields, such
as graphic designers, artists, bookbinders, calligraphers,
architects and more. No special skills are required to successfully
follow the workshop.

In order to create a high learning environment, materials will be
pre-cut for all participants.

About the location:: Grafikens Hus is an International Center for
Fine Art Printmaking, located in Mariefred, a pretty little town in
the country side about 70 km south west of Stockholm. Thanks to the
Gripsholm castle the communications are good, trains and buses, and
