This workshop is for total beginners, and others not too confident. £80. To book please email events@theportico.org.uk.

In this one-day workshop we will create three finished books: all using the simple but versatile pamphlet stitch. We will make a sewn softback pamphlet with a decorative dustwrapper, a single section hardback notebook with a cloth spine, and a multi-section concertina book. These three projects will introduce you to the essentials of all bookbinding: grain direction, folding and cutting paper, creating book sections, and sewing. And you will have three hand-made books to take home!

Led by Barry Clark.

Tea & coffee (served on arrival at 10am), a sandwich lunch and materials are included in the price of £80.
