I will explain the bookbinding / gilding profession to you and show you around my charming little workshop, in the heart of the historical village of Marsannay-la-Côte. By detailing you (by concrete examples which will pass between your hands) the stages of the realization of a binding from A to Z, you will discover my beautiful machines of the end of the XIXth and beginning of the XXth century and their use still appropriate , will be able to handle the noble materials used for the realization of a binding (leather, gold, parchment ...), and will attend demonstrations of savoir-faire (gilding with gold leaf, book sewing on hemp twine ...). The whole visit will be under the sign of History, because the binding has evolved over the centuries: you can therefore have on your hands some old books, and understand the evolution of techniques since the Middle Ages by comparing them to modern examples. The personalization of a leather bookmark will close the visit (by me ... or you if you want) And of course, all questions and exchanges will be welcome!
