Bringing a book back to life!
For Stéphanie Trémois, a bookbinder craftswoman, this is the perfect meaning of her art. She untwists, sews, trims, covers...
These terms unknown to most of us make this passionate woman's daily life.
Throughout the day, Stéphanie puts her know-how at the service of clients who confidently entrust her with their most precious works and documents.
In more than 25 years, Stéphanie has learned to repeat carefully the same gestures that
she carries out and perfects today with great precision and that she passionately
transmits.
It is at 17 that Stéphanie had her first and decisive approach to the profession. After 3
years of training thanks to a "CAP de Reliure" and obtaining the "Brevet des Métiers d'Art of the Lycée Telkiac" in Paris, Stéphanie made her reputation in several Parisian
binding workshops.
Stéphanie TRÉMOIS joined the Atelier Bourgogne Reliure in 2020. It is in this workshop that she will be able to add a rope to her bow by training new team members in
restoration.
Within the Atelier Bourgogne Reliure, stéphanie's most cherished wish is to ensure the faithful transmission of the ancestral know-how of this magnificent art.
Stéphanie leads a team of 3 people with Nathalie (16 years of bookbinding and gilding.
experience including 13 years with Atelier Bourgogne Reliure) as well as Thierry who
has recently joined the profession.
The team of Atelier Bourgogne Reliure has been
able to build a professional circle with varied areas of expertise in the book, restoration
and arts and crafts in general, which allows them to meet the most varied requests of
clients of the workshop.
Marie-Christine LAFONT, who after studying Modern Letters, went to teach in Africa and forged close and still-living links with this continent. Passionate of crafting since her childhood, she discovered in it a magnificent production of weaving, indigo dyed fabrics, basketry, pottery, small wax characters... Upon her return to France, she continued this African journey along with with Andrée DAVANTURE, founder of the association ATRIA, who created and post-produced almost all the francophone African cinema at the time.
Always in search of craftings (handswork, search of materials, textures, colors), and in parallel to her job as a teacher, she started learning binding in Roger FAMEAU's workshop, improved her learning in fine binding with Solange De VERBIZIER, and then learnt the gilding (titling and decorations) with Eugène De VERBIZIER, Solange's father. All this lead her in 1996, the year when Mr. GOUPIL, binder, yielded her BOURGOGNE RELIURE, one of the oldest binding workshops in Paris.
