The studio focuses primarily on creating books. The students are given individual tasks that require them to deal with books as comprehensive projects that include illustrations, graphic design, typography as well as technical and artisanal processing. That way the students create the entire books on their own. We create books with perfect or section sewn binding, books bound by Japanese or accordion binding and also more complicated spatial pop-up books. The study programme includes also packaging design, i.e. the creation of book cases / covers (the case is usually an integral part of the book) and other items.

The students get acquainted with new technologies and various materials such as paper, plastic, leather and textiles, which is a great asset not only for the creation of books and covers, but generally for their future professional life. The studio has very good technical facilities that are accessible to the students throughout the whole day, even outside the class time. The atmosphere in the studio is very pleasant. The students cooperate with their older and younger colleagues as well as with students from the Illustration or Graphic Design studios, whose teachers they regularly contact for consultations.

Artist’s books created by our students have earned numerous awards at the Bookbinding Triennial and other prestigious competitions. We participate in student exhibitions, such as the very successful traveling exhibition Hele kniha (“Look, a book”), where we present our work together with other studios of the Sutnar Faculty.
