Who doesn’t love a chunky journal – especially one that’s personalised, expandable, and completely made by you?

Dive into the art of bookbinding with this unique beginner workshop! Under expert step-by-step guidance, you’ll not only learn essential bookbinding skills but also create a beautiful, personalised journal in just one day.

Discover the magic of crafting books by hand. You’ll be taught how to make essential book structures, including notebooks, a sketchbook, and a journal. Plus, you’ll craft a unique full leather (or vegan leather) cover to hold your booklets, transforming it into your own chunky, expandable journal.

With a wide selection of quality materials to choose from, you’ll be able to customise your journal’s design to perfectly match your taste and creativity.

Join us for an immersive experience that will ignite your passion for bookbinding and leave you inspired to continue your journey in this craft. Whether you’re a complete novice or looking to expand your skills, this workshop promises to unleash your creativity and offer a fulfilling adventure in the world of bookmaking.

This workshop is also perfect for groups of friends or colleagues, so be sure to check out our private group bookings.

Please note:

  • This workshop is suitable for beginners with basic crafting skills such as cutting, folding, and measuring.

  • Available with leather and vegan leather.

  • No prior experience is required, but confidence in using sharp instruments and the ability to follow instructions are essential.

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