Gilles & Cecilie Studio

Bookbinding at Chelsea College of Art

It's great to start the year with a session of bookbinding. I visited Chelsea College of Art where I held 2 days workshop for the Bachelor students. They made great sketchbooks!

BOOKBINDING: Chelsea College

Cecilie used to work at the Wyvern Bindery, where she learnt to make wonderful books. We use bookbinding a lot in our studio work and we hold workshops in between at colleges, for other designers and for businesses. This november we have been in Chelsea College and Winchester School of Arts making books. Above you can see details from bookbinding sessions at Chelsea.

Sketch of the Day.

We have been binding sketchbooks lately for ourselves and with students in Chelsea College. This is a peek into Cecilies sketchbook which is made from found papers. She loves to draw with Tippex.
