From Berlin's rhythm to paper folds: Bind your visual narrative.
In today’s fast-paced world, it’s rare to pause and it’s easy to forget the power of being present.

This workshop offers a chance to slow down, combining the timeless art of bookbinding and paper folding with the power of visual communication. Paper is a magical medium, and by combining its textures, colors, and forms with graphic elements, you’ll discover endless creative possibilities.
In the Fold Papers to Unfold Stories workshop, participants will dive into different paper types, binding techniques, and folding methods while using visual communication tools like collage, typography, and photography.
