Join us for a half-day of making an elegant, slim hardcover notebook with blank pages inside. You will learn how to stitch a two-section bookblock before we take our time to work on the covers. A selection of lovely decorative papers and book cloth colours for covering your book will be provided. If you have any particular favourite papers, you are welcome to bring and use them as long as they are a minimum size of around A3.

 

In this wet-glue process, you will learn how to measure and cut your cover papers, prepare and glue the spine and glue your bookblock into your casing. Please note that your book will need to rest under weights for 12-24 hours when you get home so the covers don’t buckle while the glue is drying.

 

With this workshop we are giving a meaningful second life to board offcuts and household food packaging which have been diverted from landfill and are perfect for the purpose. At the end of the workshop you will have made a smart, A5-sized hardcover for notes or sketching and know how to make more.

 

All materials and tools will be provided.
