Craft you own unique piece

Group and individual bookbinding workshops for all skill levels — design and make your own one-of-a-kind project from scratch step by step, with professional tools and guidance.

Learn how to bind a book,  decorate paper, create a custom box or something entirely new.

All workshops are held in German. English is possible upon request.

What I offer

There is a variety of workshop types possible

Two participants in a bookbinding workshop: one working on a bookbinding project while another takes a photo of the process. Sheets of paper and materials are spread across the table.

Group Workshops

Great for those who enjoy learning with others. Topics range from traditional bookbinding techniques to modern creative binding.

Perfect for birthdays, team events, or quality time with friends or family.

Wide view of a bookbinding studio with worktables, shelves, and tools.

Open studio access

If you have attended one of my workshops and completed the safety introduction, you can use the studio independently (small fee applies).

 

Bring your own materials or use mine (billed separately) — most tools are available to you, and I am happy to help when needed. If you would prefer full support throughout your project, a private session is ideal.
