Discover the art of handmade bookbinding in this practical workshop with artist Martine.
Fold, stitch, and assemble your own A6 notebook while exploring simple beginner-friendly binding techniques, paper craft, and creative construction.
Using decorative papers, matboard, and optional finishing touches like ribbon bookmarks, you’ll create a functional handmade book from start to finish.
Experiment with materials, enjoy the process of making by hand, and leave with a beautifully crafted notebook to take home.
Bring your own decorative papers if you’d like to personalise your cover, or choose from a selection of materials available during the workshop.
Basic materials provided. Food and drink is also available for purchase throughout the session from our cafés.
This workshop is suitable for beginners and is aimed at ages 16+.
