ONLINE Upcycled Bookbinding: Buttonhole Binding
Event Information
Description
Join me for a creative afternoon of bookbinding in my virtual studio and get to grips with Buttonhole Binding (my favourite) . . .
**Please note - this workshop will now be delivered online. Read on for details.**
In this workshop we'll use card, fabric and leather remnants to create a sturdy journal with exposed spines and knotted binding. This is one of my favourite bookbinding methods and I can't wait to share it with you! I'll provide everything you need to make an A6 hardback book, with lots of opportunity to add your own personal touches.
The white paper I provide for the bulk of your book is my 'go to' Flat White paper from Artway - great for watercolour and sketching aswell as general note-taking.
** Due to the current situation with Covid 19 this workshop will be delivered remotely - upon placing an order, you will receive a bookbinding kit, which includes all the tools and materials you need (minus a cutting mat and pair of scissors) to made an A6 book with Buttonhole Binding, plus exclusive access to my online video tutorial and an invite to join my virtual classroom.
Kits will be posted out asap and you will receive a link to my private video tutorial via email on the morning of 7 April, along with login details for my virtual classroom, which I will be monitoring from 1-4pm to answer any questions / help if you get stuck and give you a virtual high five for completing your book!
Ordering additional kits - if you want to make more than one book or are looking for an opportunity to get creative with someone else in your household, you can order additional kits to be posted out to the same address when placing your order (go to checkout and scroll down).
This workshop is suitable for children that are comfortable with a needle and thread, so if you have found yourself homeschooling, this could be a great project to work on together!
*There are a limited the number of places on this workshop to ensure that I can give everyone adequate support in the virtual classroom. More kits and video tutorials for some of my favourite upcycled bookbinding techniques coming soon, see www.BookbindingwithCass.eventbrite.com
Organiser Bookbinding with Cass
Organiser of ONLINE Upcycled Bookbinding: Buttonhole Binding
I am passionate about making books and using everyday, upcycled materials to create something both personal and unique. I make travel journals, wedding books and photo albums by commission but what I get a real buzz out of is sharing skills and teaching bookbinding workshops.
I work in collaboration with a range of organisations and cultural venues across Scotland to devise and deliver workshops, past partnerships include - Glasgow Gallery of Modern Art, The Edinburgh Remakery, Leith Academy, Dynamic Earth, Voluntary Action Service South Lanarkshire. I also run workshops in more informal settings, for parties, event openings and groups of friends.
Each workshop is tailor-made to fit the requirements of the group and everyone leaves with their very own finished book and the skills to make many more.
