Book cover according to Jean de Gonet on assyrian woven tape

Course location Ascona

In this course we create a half leather binding according to the technique of Jean de Gonet. The finished binding displays a visible stitching with the covers being independent from the book block. There is a wide selection of choice in the cover material, which makes it possible to respond to participants wishes. Special woven tapes modelled on the assyrian style will be provided by the lecturer and they are ideally suited to the technique used but are also a visible characteristic design element.
