UvA Connects: Explore bookbinding in an accessible way with UvA IDEAs

Discover bookbinding in an accessible and beginner-friendly way, and create your personal notebook

Looking for a creative break during UvA Connects? Join UvA IDEAs for a beginner-friendly bookbinding workshop and create a notebook that looks and feels just the way you want it to! From choosing the paper and colours to deciding on the size, you'll shape your dream notebook in your hands. Learn the basics of bookbinding while enjoying the calming rhythm of folding, assembling and binding. Afterwards, you’ll take home your own handmade notebook, ready to fill with dreams, drawings or love stories. No experience is needed; we’ll help you get started! If you have a bone folder, scissors or a ruler at home, feel free to bring them along.
