Busy Diary? You don’t have to miss out! If you can’t make the date of any of the workshops listed here, you can request a midweek Bespoke workshop date for two.

Gather up a friend and make a day of it! Choose the book you’d like to make and join me for a workshop just for two in my dining room. If you’re not sure which book you fancy, send me a message – we’ll figure it out!

Ready to choose a date?

Send me a message with your preferred dates. Please choose more than one date if possible, and I’ll get back to you with confirmation and availability as soon as I can.

ps. I share the house with my two cats, Tink and Bert, so you’ll need to be a cat person to make it past the front door 🙂

You can choose from a variety of workshops or design your own with me.

Description

We will look at the importance of paper grain and how to fold, sew, and cover your books to create useful and beautiful books using basic tools. Your day of making includes all materials, including paper, board, various decorative papers, bookcloth, linen thread and adhesive to make your own uniquely designed books. Tools are provided for use on the day.

Lunch is included. This is usually homemade. I also have excellent foody makers nearby using local fresh ingredients if you’d like me to order in. I will be in touch beforehand to discuss any dietary requirements. You can also bring your own lunch if you prefer. It is highly likely that baking will have happened either way… 🙂

My home address is a few minutes walk from my business address at the Alexander Centre. This will be provided after booking.
