Introduction to Bookbinding: Beginner Case-Binding

Join us for a hands-on experience at Owl and Lion Bindery where participants will master the art of creating a classic 'hardback' journal with a flat or rounded spine, also known as a flat and rounded-back case-binding.

Perfect for writing journals, sketchbooks, or artist books, these handmade journals are sure to become cherished possessions.

In this class, participants will learn:

• Multiple section sewing techniques

• Rounding the spines

• Creating a hardcover

• Covering in book cloth

• Casing your books

Upon completion of the workshop, participants will depart with their own hand-bound journal and the skills to continue crafting at home with minimal equipment.

Please note:

• This class is suitable for beginners who can follow verbal and visual instructions and have basic crafting skills such as cutting, folding, and measuring.

• While not required, completing the Introduction to Bookbinding: Chunky Journal class is recommended to build foundational skills before joining this session.

• All materials and tools are provided, along with tea, coffee, and biscuits.

• Please review our terms and conditions carefully before booking, as refunds are not available for change of mind.
