Single sheets have been bound together with adhesive since Victorian times through to the modern paperback . . . and they don’t have to fall apart! It’s even called ‘perfect binding’ in the trade. In this one-day workshop you will make a perfect bound book, with coloured endpapers, strengthened linen cloth covers, and a pocket inside the rear cover for tickets and ephemera, all held together with an elasticated closure. A great journal, home or away.

Led by Barry Clark.

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