Two-day master class gilding with a gilt roll led by Judith van Daal
Friday 1 and Saturday 2 September 2023
Two days dedicated to working with gold leaf and foil on slices and possibly books with the aid of an electrically heated gilding roller.
Day 1
We will work with a gilded roll and create a design made up of lines. You can think of mosaics of lines through each other and next to each other. But also contiguous frames (carré gilding) and making letters/numbers made up of lines.
Blind lines on slices of preparation for applying gold leaf. Making lines with foil and dealing with the associated challenges.
Day 2
Working with the roll and gilding lines with gold leaf and possibly applying lines to existing self-made whole or half leather books.
Preparation by the participants
Two or three slices covered with leather, possibly also beaten around the sides and glued to prevent warping (as in the previous course)
At least one slice of fine Leather from Harmatan.
Format approx. 210 mm high and 150 mm wide (A5)
Self-bound books in whole or half leather.
Gilded roll
For those who do not own a gilded roll; there are 3 available.

Two-day masterclass K118 binding led by Toon van Camp
Saturday September 30 and Sunday October 1, 2023
During this masterclass the participants will make a K118 Binding.
This binding is a simple, very strong and flexible binding method.
The K118-binding does excel of its amazing flexibility (and strength).
The book opens extremely well. The spine takes a concave form spontaneously when browsing trough the book.
You can also open the book 360 °. Without adding pressure on the book the two boards are touching eachother: a grand écart.
It is given only a few binding structures.

Three-day masterclass Bambalina (slide-in spine binding) led by Susana Dominguez Martin (Spain)
Tuesday 10, Wednesday 11 and Thursday 12 October 2023
Friday 13, Saturday 14 and Sunday 15 October 2023
The ‘Bambalina’ structure, conceived by Susana Domínguez Martín, is a structure in which the spine of the block undergoes some minimal intervention in order to bind it.
This structure can be described as a ‘sliding spine’ binding, as it describes how the spine works on opening the book.
The Bambalina can be accomplished going through a variety of processes, from quite simple to more complex, depending on the finishing we want to give to it.
This course also provides students with the possibility to explore some non-conventional materials such as Tyvek, copper in sheets, printed acetates, stone paper, laminated wood, …
In this course students will work a variety of complex finishings, such as turn-ins and beveling in the openings for the spine.
The students will make 1 Bambalina.
Costs: € 485,- incl. coffee/tea, an extensive lunch and all necessary materials.
Location: Bookbinding Center Echten
Time: every day from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.
Maximum 12 participants
