In this workshop you learn how to make a sewn book from start to finish. From raw materials, to beautiful handmade book.
In the video above you can see me working through the same steps we will go through over the 2 days together.
I will be assisting you to set up your book title to deboss or foil into the cover.
It’s a great workshop to learn to appreciate the craft, whilst making a beautiful book you can treasure.
It’s also stepping stone to binding at home and feeling super confident in any of the other workshop options.
