Sobre
My name is Catarina Azevedo. I’m a bookbinder from Porto.
I have a degree in Graphic Design, which is how I first started making books. I love teaching, having taught myself bookbinding when I was starting out, and I find it incredibly rewarding to see the happiness on someone’s face when they admire the first book they’ve made.
O Alfaiate do Livro came to life in 2010, when I felt confident enough to bind my friends’ projects as well as my own. In 2012, I took the plunge and held my first workshop. It went so well that I never stopped!
I’ve been part of collectives, worked as a designer, and even helped out in a printmaking studio, but in the end, I chose bookbinding as my craft and profession.
