Make a Book! - Hard Cover Coptic Bookbinding

This workshop is for anyone who is interested in learning the historic craft of coptic bookbinding. You'll be guided through the process, supported through every stage of making A5 hardcover book from start to finish.

Choose from a selection of papers and bookcloth to make a notebook, diary, sketchbook or recipe book exactly how you want it. A wonderful opportunity to pick up a new skill and create something completely unique!

The workshop will run from 10AM-2:30PM, with a scheduled lunch break at 12PM. Participants are welcome to bring their own lunch, or pop out to grab a bite - there's plenty of options locally.
