Bookbinding Classes
Learn bookbinding in these small, friendly, regular classes. We cover all aspects of bookbinding, from traditional gold-tooled leather bindings and book restoration to the most innovative contemporary techniques. The small group size means you are free to follow and develop your own interests, at your own pace. All materials and tools are available at the class, but if you have any special papers or leather you would like to use please feel free to bring them. The classes are suitable for those with or without prior bookbinding experience. £50 per class.
