Meet Janine
Bookbinder and Box Maker
Janine began her career as an illustrator, but soon became obsessed with bookbinding. Through bookbinding (making sketchbooks), she found her way into box making. Janine really enjoys the traditional side of the work, but also keeps her other passion going: story-telling. Her boxes are three-dimensional illustrations of tales and myths, music, animals, a lost love or a family story.
After a few years at the Art College, she began creating her own sketchbooks and taught herself bookbinding.
Boxes, cabinets, closets and drawers have always been a fascination. Her graduation project as an illustrator consisted in the creation of an art cabinet, inspired by 17th century cabinets of curiosities, containing a personal collection of curiosities and pieces of her own work (including sketchbooks, illustrations and a screen-printed travel journal).

Een hele leuke workshop in een inspirerende omgeving. Wanneer je zoals ik gek bent op papier en graag creatief bezig bent moet je dit zeker doen! Je werkt met een klein groepje van max 5 personen aan een mooi ingebonden boekje dat mee naar huis gaat. Ik ga zeker nog een keer een workshop volgen bij Janine!!

Leuke workshop. Wij hebben met twee personen het leren notitieboekje gemaakt. Heel blij mee. Drie anderen het boekje met de kartonnen omslag. Ook heel leuk! Die ga ik ook nog een keer doen denk ik.
