Bookbinding: Make 2-3 multi-section notebooks, journals or sketchbooks using Coptic stitching. The size can be between A6 and A4 and these books open flat. They have pretty covers and decorative stitched spines with good quality paper.
Stitch your own journal

Some materials will be supplied
Early Bird price: £65 for 3 sessions if you book before 1 September
£75 for 3 sessions if you book after 1 September (this includes most of your materials, unless you want Artist’s paper)
We will start off making an A6 notebook to learn the basics. I call these ‘handbag books’ as they are pretty and can be popped into your handbag. There is an option of ribbon ties. After this you can choose your own format to make a journal or a sketchbook. You can bring fabulous quality art paper or use a good standard cartridge depending on your needs. Some things that you need will be items you have around the house, such as magazines to glue on.

The workshop is for beginner Bookbinders, or people who wish to learn Coptic stitching.
