Bookbinding - Memory Books

Make a unique memory book in this creative workshop – a nifty envelope and pocket filled book structure for storing special correspondence, letters, postcards and papery treasures. These books make for great gifts too and can be themed to fit a person or event. In the workshop Cass will cover how to make a set of envelope pages and stitch them together using an exposed French link stitch. You will then add a hard front and back cover before collaging onto your pages to give each envelope it’s own character.
This fun filled French Link Stitch Bookbinding workshop is an ideal opportunity for both beginners and keen bookbinders to learn a new range of creative bookbinding techniques. You will leave the workshop with a finished book that makes for a great sketchbook, gardening journal and/or notebook, as well as the skills and confidence to carry on bookbinding at home. After the workshop we will send on links to Cass’s video tutorials to help you on your binding journey. And if you’re hooked on books (you will be) Cass will have kits available to purchase for £12 at the end of the workshop.
All materials will be provided but you are welcome to bring along any of your own decorative papers to include in your book. This class comes with access to comprehensive video instructions should you want to make more books at home (they make great gifts).
