This workshop, based on Carmencho Arregui's Crossed Structure Binding, will develop your capacity to deal with an unusual way of thinking in a perfectly balanced asymmetry, and your everyday practice will benefit of this extra understanding of books' motion.

The Crossed Structure Binding is a special kind of binding, that can easily fit with new designs as well as old books: it is a non intrusive structure, that can be made without any gluing, flexible and beautiful in its neatness.

During this two-day course we will deal with 3 different variations: Basic, Protective and Linked, making 4 sample books with blank pages and covers in handmade paper. We will learn to measure, cut and fold properly the covers, and several tricks and tips will be shown to simplify your practice.

The workshop is open to all, no special skills are required, although a basic knowledge of bookbinding and good manual skills are helpful.
