Japanese Bookbinding Workshop

The concept

Passionate about books, notebooks, or crafting? In this workshop, the artisan invites you to discover the basics of Japanese bookbinding and create your own notebook, entirely by hand.

The program

The workshop begins with the composition of the notebook: each participant chooses and assembles the various elements, such as the pages, covers, and any decorative accents.

The artisan then guides participants through the different stages of production: preparing the pages, punching the holes, and learning the Japanese stitchingtechnique—a binding method that is as practical as it is beautiful, holding the pages together while creating a graphic pattern on the cover.

Designed as a moment of discovery and hands-on practice, this workshop introduces you to the art of bookbinding, allowing you to leave with a personalized notebook, crafted entirely by your own hands. Special attention is given to the choice of materials and finishing touches to create an object that is both useful and aesthetically pleasing.

No prior experience is necessary, and all materials are provided. The workshop is open to beginners and anyone interested in discovering a new craft technique.

Ages 12 and up, when accompanied by an adult. A creative activity to share with family or friends.
