These workshops are held 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 4 places available for lots of one-to-one focus time.
You will most definitely be needing a break so either bring along a sarnie or we can refuel on some biccies for half an hour.
COST £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

Tania has a BA Hons in graphic design and illustration. She studied at Camberwell College of Art & Crafts (now UAL) where she fell in love with letterpress printing and bookbinding. |
