In partnership with the Society of Bookbinders, North West and North Wales Region

Working with local bookbinder Barry Clark you will make a proper hardback book with a difference! Supplied in the form of a flat sheet, once bound its sixteen printed pages are transformed into your own bookbinding instruction manual for future use.

Developed in 2020 by London-based bookbinding suppliers Shepherds Sangorski & Sutcliffe, making the book is itself a tutorial on the essential principles of creating hardback notebooks. All materials and tools will be provided, but feel free to bring your own favourite craft tools if you have them. We will be using glue so a protective apron is recommended.

The fee includes the cost of materials, tuition, tea/coffee on arrival and a light lunch. This workshop is limited to 10 participants so early booking is advised.
