The artisan
Didier, +17 years of experience
Bookbinder, restorer
Recognized Environmental Guarantor
Before turning to bookbinding, I worked in industry for 30 years. I then earned my CAP at nearly 50, followed by my BMA, and specialized in the restoration of old books.
I have been practicing for 16 years and created a Workshop-School to support those who wish to give a new dimension to their career.
The workshop
Illkirch · Bas-Rhin
Two bookbinding workshops, one in Mulhouse and the other in Illkirch. One workshop features a very fine collection of antique gilding tools that are still in use, a beautiful library of books from the 15th to the 20th century, and all the tools of the artistic bookbinder
