A beginner's guide to book binding.
This workshop will teach you the classic book binding technique, and instruct you through step-by-step to bind an A5 notebook. We will provide all the tools and materials needed, and you will get to take home the notebook you made. We'll also provide some colouring and drawing materials should you wish to decorate your front cover during the class.
This workshop is suitable for anyone! Both beginners and those with experience are welcome.
