Bookbinding of Your Artwork without Folds

“Now we have reached the end of this Domestika course. Let's see a summary of everything we have learned so far.

• I began by sharing with you the sources of inspiration that I am passionate about in artistic binding. Next, we looked at the materials and tools we needed for the course and its main features. Later, we learned to prepare some images printed on rice paper and to tint and texturize the skin.

• With all this, we began to work on the binding, we first saw how to join two elements to form what we call bifolios, and then we learned how to convert those bifolios into concertinas or a stitched book codex format.

Next, we understood the function of the covers to protect our binding. First, we first prepare some simple tapas for our concertina that we finish with skin. Then we went one step further by including another piece, the loin. Finally, we finished covering the body with stitched sheets, including the caps in the seam. With the project finished, you saw how this technique can be applied to any format of graphic work, and how with imagination and creativity, the supports and presentation can be adapted to different sizes and even play with perspective. Thus, you have learned one of the techniques that exist to present, preserve and protect graphic work, and present it in a graphic and creative way. Well, the time has come to say goodbye. From now on, any questions you have, you can ask me in the forum. I will also be happy to see and comment on your bookbinding project. Show me the result, following the process that I have taught you. Organize and structure it in a way that is understandable. Then post it so you can share it with the entire Domestika community. Thank you very much for being my student, I hope you have enjoyed doing this course as much as I did. I am looking forward to seeing and commenting on your progress. See you soon! ”
