Sat 8 Nov, 11am-5pm
In this one day workshop, you will be guided through three creative ways of making and binding your own books - Japanese Stab Stitch, Blizzard Binding and Concertina Binding.
You’ll learn binding, paper folding, tearing and creating concertina pages for your books. You’ll end the session with a set of handmade, hand-bound books to take home with you.
Handmade books are perfect for using up any paper, printmaking or crafting offcuts and the finished books make beautiful gifts!
£70 (all materials included)
What’s Included?
All materials you will use are included in the cost of the course, but you are welcome to bring along your own if you choose. Our studios are always striving to be more environmentally friendly and use greener printmaking processes and consumables where possible.
Do I need to prepare anything beforehand?
No, but feel free to bring any paper, drawings, printed photos or anything you’d like to include as pages in your books.
