Creating an Eco Sketchbook: FULLY BOOKED

  • The Portico Library 57 Mosley Street Manchester, England, M2 3HY United Kingdom (map)

FULLY BOOKED

This A5 sketchbook could hardly be greener. The covers are made from Zaansch Bord, a hand-made thick paper made from cotton waste in a wind-driven paper mill in Holland. The pages will be recycled cartridge paper. The book requires no glue as the folded paper sections are sewn direct to the cover with a waxed linen thread, using the long and link stitch - holes are punched into the cover and sewing through the holes creates a binding that is both highly decorative and functional.

Led by Barry Clark.

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