Special bindings
Versie
You can devide the craft of bookbinding in regular work and the applied art form.
The applied art form of bookbinding will give the binder the challenge to make a unique design, binding and decoration to make something special. The experiment is a important part in this work.
When you have a commission by a collector or booklover who wants to have a special binding and design for a book it takes time to develop ideas and sometimes new techniques.
