Book Binding Workshop

Make your own book

5 May 2013

This workshop introduced you to the basic techniques of book binding. All you needed was paper, needle and thread. If you wanted to go crazy you could bring an old leather jacket or skirt and turn it into a book cover, or spice up your book with special paper, ribbons and decorations. At the end of the day the participant had made a durable sketchbook.

The workshop is free if you bring your own material. In case if you need something you have to pay for the costs.

Freezing Favela

Freezing Favela was a temporary city at Mediamatic Fabriek. The space is big, unheated, and the roof leaks. Designers, cooks, and other makers had claimed part of this space as their own. In the Favela you could make tosti's from scratch, bricks from old newspaper, furniture from cardboard, and cook with ingredients from the aquaponics farm. Favela-citizens gave workshops and organized events and meals.
