Course location Zurich

designing a literary text, from first ideas to the finished binding
Accompanied by the designers Susanna Entress and Urs Stuber and the bookbinder Sandra Merten, you will go through all the phases of book design and binding. You will be guided through the processes of generating first ideas, graphic design, layout, and all the way to the execution of the binding.
Starting with a literary text, you will deal with typography, materials and types of binding and produce a hand-bound book from A to Z yourself. Step by step, you will develop a binding that represents the literary content and offers readers a sensual experience.
