Workshop – Coptic Stitching Bookbinding Workshop & Make Your Own Sketchbook: Preview of “Moving Landscape”
—25.09.2026
Karin Peulen with help from Iris Gloudemans
As a preview for next week’s book launch of “Moving Landscape”, where bookbinding was needed in order to make a book with different shapes of pages possible, Karin Peulen gives more insight about how to make such a book. The book was hand-bound collectively by a group of ten people. It shows a huge possibility to bind and gather your own pages to make a book with.
Moving Landscape emerged from an extended investigation into colour, centred around a flock of sheep during the breeding season. For six months, the rams wore small, handmade colour sculptures made from natural pigments and beeswax. The colours changed weekly. In total, 200 colours emerged, blending through movement, contact, and interaction with the environment into new colour variations.
In her work, Karin Peulen explores the interplay between colour and structure, with an interest in memory, connection, and the relationship between people, animals, and their environment. She works across media including silkscreen, photography, and textiles.
