Book Binding Workshop - Flip Top Box

Cerdeira

In the Book Binding - Flip Top Case Workshop, with Leticia Burkardt and Tiago Casanova, you'll make a book and a box tailored for it, all from scratch. 

The book will have a hardcover and a classic finish, with a square spine and covered in fabric. From folding the paper to sewing and assembling the cover, you'll master every step. You'll also learn to add elements like marker tape and rubber bands. Then you'll make a box with a simple lid tailored for the book you've bound. You will also take measurements, calculate the size of the pieces, assemble the structure, and learn about the types of coatings and customization possibilities.

This workshop offers many possibilities for those who want to delve into binding and cartooning. By the end of this weekend, you'll leave with a personally crafted gift, either for yourself or your loved ones.
