Printmaking and Bookbinding Full Day Workshop in Glasgow East End

Join us for a magical one-day printmaking and bookbinding course!

There are two dates available for this workshop:

• Sunday 23rd Nov, 10am - 6pm
• Sunday 21st Dec, 10am - 6pm

Working alongside printmaker Abbie Lois learn how to carve intricate Lino blocks with traditional tools and print beautiful repeated patterns. Participants will use the block printed papers to make covers for an A6 Coptic Bound book with bookbinder Kerry Douglas who will teach you how to hand sew and bind a wonderful lay-flat notebook/sketchbook.

Inspiration material for the class will be provided, and you are of course welcome to be inspired by whatever you’d like for your book, and we encourage you to bring your own reference material for inspiration if you wish.

All tools and materials are provided however participants are welcome to bring along A5 prints or found papers to include within their bindings. Please cut these to size before arriving.
