This 2 day course is for those studying general as well as all aspects of City and Guilds to come and enjoy, create, learn and work towards your goal.

Two-Day Bookbinding Workshop
Take a weekend to slow down and create. This two-day workshop is open to anyone who wants to begin a new bookbinding project or carry on with something already started. You’ll have time, space, and guidance to explore techniques, experiment with materials, and enjoy the rhythm of making by hand.

Whether you’re a complete beginner or returning to your practice, you’ll leave with your own handmade book and the skills to keep going at home. All materials are provided, and no experience is needed—just bring your enthusiasm.

City and Guilds project continuation, book restoration, learning to make a coptic style binding, photo album, or a box are possibilities for your weekend. Feel free to reach out for a conversation on what aspect of this craft you’d like to pursue.

Dates are below and there’s a check box when you go to check out for you to select.
