The Springback Book

Monday, 19. May 2025 to Friday, 23. May 2025
Course location Ascona

This old binding technique was previously used for ​​register, cash and writing books. It is characterized by being able to open flat, right into the fold. The spine of the book literally jumps up at the user when the book is opened, which is where the name of the technique comes from. Digitalisation has displaced this technique in its original areas of application, but through its refined technical details and the sophisticated way in which it opens, it can still impress and be an interesting alternative to conventional guest books and diaries.
During the 5 days of the course we will make a half leather binding.

There are still spots left!
