Workshops were held by invited book specialists who tried to cover the subject from as many points of view as possible, from concept issues to technical details such as paper selection or printing. Participants were given guidance and subsequently, after working on their own projects, the workshop ended with a book exhibition at UNAgaleria, Bucharest.

Between 01 - 28. 05. 2016, the participants began to research the workshop theme: image translated through sound. To help them out, a presentation was made by artists Nicu Ilfoveanu and Octav Avramescu, where they spoke about sound translated through photography. The book presented, Found and lost, was a collaboration between them.

Adrian Medeleanu, graphic assistant at the National University of Arts, Bucharest, helped the participants with lessons in InDesign and other Adobe Creative Suite programs.

Next visit was made by Loredana Bostacă (Antalis) to have a more in-depth discussion about what kind of paper is more appropriate for each project of the participants.
