While you have to stay at home, here's the chance to learn something new in this online workshop. The workshop is spread over four evenings and is given via Zoom. You will be making one or more books per evening. The difficulty level gets a little higher every lesson.
The books are playful with an attractive result and can be used for all kinds of purposes. The workshop is suitable for beginners with good manual skills and surprising for those with more basic knowledge of bookbinding. All participants will receive a package with the pre-cut materials for all lesson evenings so that you are ready to start.
NB: An extra contribution is charged from foreign participants due to much higher postage costs.

Instructor and bio: Marja Wilgenkamp lives and works in Blokker, Municipality of Hoorn in North Holland. Since 1997, the Wilgenkamp bookbinding company has been making special and unique books for private individuals, companies and institutions. Courses, workshops and, since 2011, master classes are also given in the bookbinding shop. Renowned guest teachers are invited to the masterclasses from England, France, America, Germany, Spain and Switzerland. Marja's former profession of teacher of Textile Design certainly plays a role in her choice of materials and the way in which she designs her books. This background of 25 years of teaching design also plays a role in the guidance in the bookbinding lessons.
She has won a number of awards and a number of her books are included in the collection of special bindings of the Koninklijke Bibliotheek in The Hague. In addition, one of her books are privately owned.
Marja Wilgenkamp has been giving courses, workshops with various binding techniques including the Elbel Libro binding methods and masterclasses in her own bindery since 1997.
In addition, a bookbinding course was started in 2018. She is a certified Elbel Libro teacher. More information: www.boekbinderij-wilgenkamp.nl
