Since I was young I had a good feeling with craft works in particular with bookbinding. Then I decided to approach different aspects of book from editing to binding.
Now I run My own bookbinding business (FESTINALENTE BOOKS) together with my partner.
I think that teaching bookbinding, and in this way sharing my craftsmanship, is something very important to keep craft works always alive.

All the lessons will be held at FESTNALENTE BOOKS' workspace.
