Bookbinding Taster Day
On this one day workshop you will learn how to use the tools, materials and techniques to get started in bookbinding. You’ll make books from scratch to take away with you using methods such as pamphlet stitch, concertina books and Japanese stab binding, and you will gain some knowledge to keep making books at home.
