Sample Books with Cristina Balbiano d´Aramengo in Leksand


For five days I have been in Leksand on a bookbinding course namned Sample Books. I had attended a class with Cristina a couple of years ago and know she was a very good teacher. I didn´t really know what sample books should be but we where told to bring different samples of collections, buttons etc. During the class we used those things in different books structures that we made during the week. This class really was high above my expectations. We have done 8 different structures during the course and filled them with our own personal contents. It has been so inspiring to meet the other participants and see what they did. I have had a very nice week.



 

This is the 8 different books that I did during the course. They are filled with different things: nibs for calligraphy, watercolours, paper samples, drawing in black and white, memories from Venice and buttons from my mother´s old button box.
