The text block is sewn directly onto the binding which could  be card, leather or a number of other materials. Our notebook will have a hand-marbled paper for the front cover, with a textile book cloth for the rear. There are many variations possible using this structure, so by learning the essentials you will be able to experiment with further designs at home should you wish. All materials and tools will be provided. The fee includes the cost of materials, tea/coffee on arrival and a light lunch. This workshop is limited to 12 participants so early booking is advised.
