Bookbinding, Basel Academy of Art and Design

Basel Academy of Art and Design


In our bindery, students are introduced to various bookbinding methods. This allows them to plan and implement their projects independently. They learn how to cut paper and cardboard with a cutting machine or cardboard scissors, how to produce a perfect-bound, softcover brochure, or how to print covers by means of foil or blind stamping.

Producing a hardcover book or an open-spine brochure reveals the immense range of binding techniques.
For smaller projects or such that need completing quickly, one can also use wire-o binding, wire stitching, thread binding, as well as labyrinth folding.
