Under the guidance of Aaldert de Lange, you will make a booklet bound in the traditional Japanese style. For the cover of this booklet, Chiyogami paper will be used.

Chiyogami is made from the fibers of the mulberry tree, after which it is traditionally screen-printed in multiple layers to create beautiful colors and designs; each sheet is screen-printed individually.

The word Chiyogami refers to the graphic, repetitive patterns applied to paper during Japan’s Edo period. Originally, these patterns were block-printed for use in making paper dolls and small accessories. In the 20th century, these patterns also began to be used for screen printing.

You will go home with a unique, handmade booklet.

At Boektotaal in Echten, you can purchase bookbinding supplies, take workshops and courses, and have books repaired and/or bound.
