Non-adhesive binding techniques have undoubted conservation advantages and an excellent opening. Participants will produce two/three different structures of these handmade paper bindings suited for old and modern books.

The covers will be made of Zaansch Bord, a handmade card produced with natural fibers from a Dutch windmill, available in the classroom; the sections  will instead be prepared by the participants, and can be white pages or sections of an existing book (in good condition: we will not have time enough to stop and repair them).

Participants must already have basic knowledge of bookbinding.
