Spend a day discovering the timeless craft of bookbinding and create your own beautiful handmade books.

In this friendly, hands-on workshop you’ll learn traditional bookbinding techniques and be guided step by step through the process of making your own hand-bound book. You’ll explore folding, sewing, and assembling pages before finishing your book with simple but elegant bindings.

This workshop is suitable for beginners and those with experience. Beginners will learn the essential foundations of bookbinding, while those with intermediate skills can refine their technique and explore more detailed finishing and complex structures.

Perfect for:

• Beginners curious about bookbinding

• Makers wanting to develop their skills further

• Artists and writers wanting to create their own sketchbooks or journals

• Anyone who enjoys slow, mindful making

All materials and tools are provided, and you’ll leave with your own handcrafted book along with the skills and confidence to continue binding at home.

Expect a relaxed, welcoming atmosphere, plenty of individual guidance, and the quiet satisfaction that comes from making something truly by hand.

All your materials and tools are included as well as endless tea and coffee for in person courses!
