(in partnership with the Society of Bookbinders, North West and North Wales Region)
Tuesday 21 January 2020, 10.15-4.00; tea/coffee on arrival from 10am for a prompt start at 10.15am
In this one day workshop you will work with an experienced local bookbinder, Barry Clark, to create three books: a sewn pamphlet with a decorative dustwrapper, a Japanese stab binding, and a multi-section notebook with exposed decorative sewing. These three projects will introduce you to the essentials of all bookbinding: grain direction, folding and cutting paper, creating book sections, setting out sewing stations and different ways of sewing books. And you will have three hand-made books to take home! All materials and tools will be provided. The fee includes the cost of materials, tea/coffee on arrival and a light lunch. This workshop is limited to 12 participants so early booking is advised.
