Create Your Own Journal: Intro to Bookbinding

Join illustrator and printmaker Abbie Mooney to learn the art of bookbinding. In this workshop, you’ll master the traditional pamphlet stitch and create a personalised hardback cover.

Whether you're an avid "junk journaler," a traveller, or looking to record daily memories, a handmade journal is the perfect creative outlet.

What to Expect:

• Technique: Learn to combine a hand-sewn pamphlet stitch with a durable hardcover.

• Customisation: Use provided papers or bring your own (wrapping paper, old artwork, or recycled prints) to make your journal truly unique.

• Takeaway: You will leave with a completed handmade journal and a guide to continue bookbinding at home.
