An introduction to the world of bookbinding
Unleash your inner artisan and transform ordinary pages into treasured volumes! Imagine the satisfaction of holding a book crafted by your own hands, its spine whispering stories bound with care and intention. Whether you dream of creating personalised journals, exquisite gifts, or simply want to connect with the tangible beauty of the written word, this course will open a new chapter in your creative life. Come, let's bind stories together!
During this workshop you will learn how to make your own Sewn-Board Book. You will learn about the importance of paper grain, how to fold paper into signatures, sewing your signatures, tipping on end-papers, gluing and reinforcing the spine, drumming-on your board covers & covering material, etc.
All this combined into making your own uniquely designed book.
