Become a master bookbinder yourself!

When you pick up a book from your bookshelf, the first thing you see is the book's cover and binding. Nowadays, machines are used to bind books, but even today there are manual bookbinding workshops where master bookbinders make the covers.

On the program, you can learn about how master bookbinders worked, the technique they used to sew the pages of their books, and what is the meaning the term of ex libris.

In old books, ornate, hand-painted initials often adorned the beginning of the lines. At the program, you will have the opportunity to paint the missing initials of an old book.
