einBuch.kollektiv: a collective space for book culture

einBuch.kollektiv is a place where people can work on their own book projects, participate in workshops on writing, bookbinding, and drawing, and join reading clubs and gatherings.
The space continues under the umbrella of einBuch.haus and is run by three peoplee: Julia Fabricius, Lea Giesecke and Jae Kyung Kim.

Since May, 2023, we offer "One-to-One Artist Book Session": Participants will get advice on printing, binding and concept development from bookbinder Julia Fabricius and Lea Giesecke according to their needs. einBuch.haus not only wants to present artists' books, but also to give visitors the opportunity to create a book inspired by our exhibition programmes.

Current Workshop Schedule

*The machines in the book workshop are supported by the infrastructure funding of the district office of Pankow in Berlin/ Office for Further Education and Culture.

Bookbinder and Workshop Leader

Julia Fabricius (born 1993 in Gothenburg, Sweden) works as a book designer and illustrator and assists in a book bindery. She moved to Berlin from New York more than 7 years ago, where she was studying fine arts and art history at Brooklyn College. She earned her Bachelor’s Degree in Communication Design in 2018, and after that, she studied book history at Lund University, Sweden, and did an internship at Buchbinderei Klünder, Berlin. In 2021 she started to give online classes in bookbinding and drawing for kids through the digital platform The Yellow Elefant.

Lea Giesecke is a graphic designer with a focus on print. She loves working with paper and gives bookbinding workshops. During her master's degree, she dealt intensively with the haptic experience of books, resulting in the BookBindingKit (BuchBauKasten) - a poster and cards with detailed information about bookbinding techniques.
