A jubilee, 30 years of Miniatuur Boekbinden.
It all started in 1995 at the Wednesday tourist market in Hoorn. In addition to lace-making and spinning wool I had the 1:1 boekbinding stall. On special request I made a miniature book that was received with great enthousiasm. A simple little book, blank pages, linen binding with an illustration Een boekje met blanco pagina’s en een linnen bandje met een illustratie.I was allowed to demonstrate on an Open day at the Dollshouse Shop of Dienke Cazemier en Dirk Platvoet uit Oosthuizen. Really exciting, I had only one kind of miniature book. The simple book I made in Hoorn at the market. It was super fun and Dienke adviced met to get in contact with the Dollshouse Show in Arnhem.
That was in October 1995, so 30 years ago. A Jubilee year.
II still like to make miniature books very much. To search in libraries with a rare book collection for an interesting book to publish. Discussion with the lithographer and the printing house and choose and find the right material for the new book continues to fascinate.
It is also important for me to pass on my knowledge and expertise to miniaturists and booklovers by teaching and supporting them.
