Friday, June 12 and September 25, from 10am to 5pm on both days
Workshops with bookbinder Sandra Merten
For many years Sandra Merten has been binding and restoring books for the Iron Library. This year she will be offering two very special courses in June and September.
Course 1: Notebook based on historical design
Friday June 12 , 10am to 5pm
Historical notebooks are often characterised by a flexible cover, slightly rounded corners to withstand travel unscathed, and are covered with durable cover material. The endpaper adds a splash of colour to the inside, and a flap keeps inserted notes in place.
Cost: CHF 250 including materials, coffee breaks and lunch
Registration: eisenbibliothek@georgfischer.com (limited number of places)
Course 2: Artist's book "Arboretum"
Friday September 25, 10am to 5pm
The arboretum at the Klostergut Paradies is a uniquely beautiful place that invites creative exploration on this day. A variety of papers meet different techniques to capture the surfaces, shapes and materiality of trees and shrubs and compile them in an artist's book.
Cost: CHF 250 including materials, coffee breaks and lunch
Registration: eisenbibliothek@georgfischer.com (limited number of places)
