About this class
Design a book that is as unique as you are — a work of art that combines craftsmanship and artistic expression.
We invite you to a creative experiment in which we combine cyanotypes and bookbinding. Cyanotype is a historic fine printing process that creates artistic, deep blue prints on paper or fabric. In this workshop, you have the opportunity to create your own cyanotypes — using light and shadow as creative tools.
In the second step, your unique works become the heart of a handmade, thread-stitched book. Learn the basics of bookbinding and turn your cyanotypes into a personal unique piece. Whether as a book cover or as decorative elements inside — there are no limits to your creativity.
