BOOKBINDING: JAPANESE STAB BINDING WORKSHOP

EXPERIENCE LEVEL – NONE

Would you like to have go at bookbinding?

This session starts at 10 and finishes at 4.

This session is designed to introduce you to Japanese stab binding with soft and hard covers. You will make templates for three soft backed books (4-hole, Noble and Tortoise shell stitches) and then progress onto making a hard cover version of your choice of stitch.

We will be holding these workshops in the Bell House Print Room and Bindery where we will be using materials and equipment kindly donated to us from Dulwich College and The London Library. Space is limited so book fast. These are probably the smallest book binding classes ever! ONLY 3 places available for lots of one-to-one focus time. *

We will most definitely be needing a break so either bring along a sarnie or we can refuel on some biccies for half an hour.

If time allows you will also be able to have a go at printing your own book plate on one of our vintage letterpress machines.

Cost including all materials £60

ALL MATERIALS INCLUDED – NO EXPERIENCE NEEDED

*PLEASE NOTE this workshop is unsuitable for under 16s and sharp equipment is used.

PLEASE BRING AN EXTRA LAYER AS THE PRINT ROOM MAY GET CHILLY.

The workshop will be run by the Creative Director of the Print Room & Bindery - Tania Hurt-Newton.

Refunds
