Experimental Bookbinding Workshop

We Make Books! is an educational organisation that aims to promote the craft of bookbinding and the book as an art object in its own right through workshops, courses, exhibitions and events. We deliver workshops for both adults and children at different locations across London and the UK, from galleries and creative spaces to schools, colleges, fairs and arts events.

We Make Books!

In this online workshop, you&#x27;ll be introduced to the magical world of experimental bookbinding and learn how to make three unique and playful book structures. You will be guided step-by-step through the process of creating two single-sheet, instant books as well as a star accordion fold using materials and tools you can find around the house or easily sourced. At the end of the class you will have your very own beautiful handmade books, which you can use as little notebooks, journals or anything else you would like.
