Agenda
Programma 2012 Innovative album structures: Docent BENJAMIN ELBEL - MEMO see also master class on 16&17 december 2011
This course by Benjamin Elbel will unveil two elegant and unconventional methods for binding a collection of paper documents of the same size (like postcards), without the need of gluing them, drilling them or using plastic sleeves or standard photo corners.
See : www.be.net/boundbyben
One of them ,published in the' Festschrift for Hedi Kyle ' in 2009, almost magically holds postcards by pinching one of their edges into its pockets, while the other one takes advantage of a ingenious corner construction.
The workshop is also a good introduction to concertinas.
Programma 2012 Lori Sauer : Modified Sewn Board Binding 17&18 april and A Removable Case 19&20 oktober 2012
1) Modified Sewn-Bord Binding 17 &18 april 2012
Originally developed by conservator Gary Frost in the USA this is a versatile binding that uses very little adhesive and that is equally attractive in combinations of paper, cloth or leather covers. Lori Sauer has used it extensively on fine bindings, and has made various modifications to the attachment of the spine, including one with wood.
Master Class Dos Rapporté by Benjamin Elbel
The "Dos Rapporté" is a binding technique where back and boards are first treated separately before being put together. Benjamin Elbel developed a technique of his own which will attract all those who are interested in an elegant and contemporary method of bookbinding. Advanced bookbinding know-how and experience of leather processing are requested for this masterclass.
The class will be given in English but French or German wouldn't be a problem.
Duration : 2 days : 16 and 17 december 2011
Fee : 175,00 EURO, lunch and material included

LE FONDS MICHEL WITTOCK: de la passion au don.
Michel Wittock has assembled a truly magnificent collection of bookbindings, from the riches of the Renaissance until recent artistic expressions. A standard collection! To valorize this ensemble he founded the Bibliotheca Wittockiana, a private museum that he developed into a study centre and museum of international acclaim
He wished and hoped that his collection and the research activities could be made permanent.
The King Baudoin Foundation enthusiastically wanted to join in the realization of this initiative.
La RELIURE DE FIL en AIGUILLE à Liege
The association for the development of artistic bookbinding – APPAR –
comes to greet the Ansembourg Museum in Liege.
This Museum was appropriate as it offers a complete panorama of all the arts and craftsmanship. More than a Museum of decorative arts this place representative of an epoch was more than ready to open up to other forms of art.
the most important aspect of this project is the dialogue that will be
DIRES EROTIQUES - ARA CANADA - Quebec
Exposition organized by "les amis de la reliure d'art Canada"
Henry Van de Velde and Art Nouveau bookbinding in Belgium
The Art Nouveau style in Belgium is known for the interplay of supple lines and movements as well as for the stylisation of ornamental flowers, both figurative and linear.
Belgian bookbinding has been particularly influenced by the strong personality of the architect and decorator Henry Van de Velde. Between 1893 and 1900 he created decorated bindings which, together with their preliminary designs, have been brought together here for the first time. Furniture, silver, jewellery, stained-glass and textiles designed by the artist will complete the exhibition.
