EXPERIENCE LEVEL – NONE

Would you like to have go at bookbinding?

Come and join us in the Print Room & Bindery.

Tania will introduce you to the fundamentals of bookbinding.

This session starts at 10.00 am and finishes at 4.30 pm. There is a chance of over-running so please allow some extra time at the end of the day.

You will start by making two simple pamphlet books using two different stitching techniques. You then progress on to make two single section hard back books using the stitching techniques learned in the first part of the workshop. 

You will go home with four books…not bad for one day!

This is a taster session suitable to anyone who can thread a needle and handle a craft knife! No experience required. All materials and equipment supplied. Tania will have ready prepared all the materials you need trimmed to size for an efficient speed of working. *

This taster session is designed to introduce you to a few basic skills that you can build on at future workshops and work on at home. It will be run by the Creative Director of the Print Room & Bindery – Tania Hurt-Newton

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 3 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. 

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

Tickets cost £60 per person.
