Saturday 8th June - 10am - 5pm

I’m opening up my studio for a very small number of places this summer, sharing some skills and creating beautiful books together. You’ll leave with two different books and the skills to make more at home. 

Led by a professional bookbinder (me!), you’ll learn the skill of bookbinding, making two books by hand to take home with you!

You’ll learn:

• Preparing pages for sewing

• How to select papers and materials

• Sewing and lining your book blocks using two different methods

• Making hardcover books with bookcloth and hand marbled papers

• Personalising with a gold or silver foil title

• ’Casing in’ your books and attaching the book and cover together

  
  There will be an abundance of high quality materials to choose from, and because we’re gathering in my studio you’ll have access to the full range of equipment, materials and tools.
  
  Please let me know at the time of booking if you have any dietary requirements.
  
  Workshops run from 10am - 5pm from my studio in Bridgeton in the East End of Glasgow. Close to train links, with plenty of free on street parking.
  
  Hope to see you there!
