Suitable for complete beginners.
Join us for practical, hands-on workshops led by experts at the London Centre for Book Arts.

Organised by
Due to the ongoing situation with COVID-19, we have taken the difficult decision to put on hold our workshop programme to ensure the safety of our visitors and community.
Our workshops (bookbinding, printing, publishing, and related skills) have always been at the heart of what we do. As a small organisation this is obviously a big challenge for us but we are confident that we will weather the storm and this is the right decision for us to take at this time.
We are in the midst of transforming the studio so that it is “Covid secure,” and we hope to welcome back visitors in the not too distant future.
