Apolline offers a bookbinding workshop in Paris at her studio in the 19th arrondissement. During this activity, you'll learn the basics of bookbinding under her expert eye, and create a flexible notebook.
What is bookbinding? It's a technique that simply consists of binding several sheets of a book together, potentially folded into a notebook.
Course of the workshop (2h):
- Theory: learn how to make an A5 notebook out of several notebooks sewn together.
- Workshop: after an explanation of the structure of a book, you'll learn how to determine the direction of the paper, fold it neatly and cut it to size. Apolline will then explain how to create a "honeycomb" seam to bind the pages of your book together.
- Finally, Apolline will show you how to use a large sheet of paper you've chosen from among the papers provided, to make an ingenious fold to create a soft cover for your notebook, without sewing or gluing!
No special knowledge of bookbinding is required to take part in this workshop. The workshop is limited to 4 people, so Apolline can guide you all the way. A great gift idea!

It was absolutely brilliant! Apolline's explanations are clear and will enable me to do binding again on my own if I feel like it. I learned a lot about how a binding works, and Apolline was always ready to help when I had difficulties. Thank you so much for this experience!

The workshop was great. My children and I loved it. Apolline was able to adapt to everyone's personality very quickly and always with a great deal of kindness. She's passionate and very professional. I loved being able to discover bookbinding with someone who masters her field perfectly, who is passionate and generous in her transmission. Many thanks for everything and for your time ☺️🙏

To take part in this workshop is to share a creative moment with a truly caring facilitator! Apolline welcomed us into her small workshop, a calm, unusual and very pleasant place. She guided us along the path of bookbinding, with precise explanations and demonstrations for each step. We left with some lovely creations that we'll be able to reproduce at home! Thank you for a lovely time!
