Join Bookbinder and Illustrator Kate Lennon on this fun one day workshop for the complete beginner to bookbinding.

We will start gently by making a small book with simple materials found in the recycling bin,  It's a fabulous creative way to use up your card recycling and a great fun, no pressure introduction to the basics. After that we will move onto your first hand stitched notebook, delving into various stitching techniques to create notebooks or sketchbooks. Once you've mastered this foundational skill, we will transition to the next workshop segment, where you'll learn and apply techniques for making leather - or vegan leather - bound books.  Kate will provide lots of beautiful quality papers to choose from for your hand stitched notebooks. We keep the group size nice and small so Kate will be on hand to guide and advise if you need extra help or inspiration.

Throughout the workshop, Kate will share her expertise, offering a wealth of helpful tips, resources, and inspirational ideas. By the end of the day, you will take home at least three handmade books and leave with newfound confidence and the ability to continue this relaxing and fulfilling craft at your leisure. These delightful and unique books can be given as gifts to loved ones or you can use them for sketchbooks or list keeping, as Kate herself does.
