Experience Book Art: Your Own Book Edges as a Small Gallery
A workshop for bibliophilic hands and alert eyes: At vhs Landshut, you will create your personal colored edges. Under expert guidance, you will discover the tradition of Fore Edge Painting and transform the closed edges of your book into a fine image surface – without compromising readability.
Sensual Workshop Atmosphere
Amidst paper fibers and watercolors, a concentrated reading atmosphere unfolds – here, it's not the author, but your book itself that takes the stage. The voice is the brushstroke, the rhythm comes from the opening pages. Thus, the literary experience becomes a tactile encounter with your own bookshelf.
Technique, Style, Narrative
The course introduces the history and practice of colored edges: motif selection, composition on the book block, material science, drying times, edge protection. You will work on a stable book press, practice controlled gradients, and create precise lines – language art translated into image art.
Suitable for Beginners and Advanced Participants
Adults and young people from about 14/15 years are welcome. A personal book serves as a canvas; materials are provided. You will take home a unique piece – a gift with literary quality and a personal touch.
Hands-On and Barrier-Free
The course takes place in barrier-free accessible rooms of vhs Landshut. The compact duration of four hours allows for focused work and exchange on genres, motifs, and the aesthetics of book design.
Conclusion: Those who love literature will expand their library by an artistic level. Experience book art that lasts – precise, creative, individual. Secure your spot now and let the pages speak.
