Casebound Notebook Workshop

£60 per person, max. 6 people per class.

Enjoy an afternoon of bookbinding in a small friendly class at the Radbrook Green Community Centre, Shrewsbury. 

This course is suitable for complete beginners and for those who have a little binding experience. It offers an introduction to bookbinding terminology and techniques using traditional equipment. 

You will create 1 A5 portrait and 1 smaller landscape flat-backed notebook, completely from scratch, learning to create sections, endpapers and hand sew pages. Each book will be unique with cases created in a quarter bound style with your choice of cloth spine and patterned paper sides.

All tools, equipment and materials are provided, there will a wide range of colours and designs to choose from. 

Printed handouts of some processes are available to take home.

Additional materials will be available to purchase if you'd like to try projects at home. Copious amounts of tea and coffee are included with a good sprinkling of cake and biscuits. 

The one thing I'd advise you to bring is an apron!
