Welcome to the **TRIPTYCH SHRINE BOOK - Online Creative Bookbinding Workshop via Zoom**! Join us on two Sundays May 12 & May 19 **at **10:30 AM** (British Summer Time) for a fun and interactive virtual event where you'll learn the art of bookbinding from the comfort of your own home. This workshop will teach you how to create your very own unique triptych shrine book as a container of a spirit of something or someone special. From Medieval Latin scrīnium (“reliquary”), “case or chest for books or papers” in Classical Latin.
No prior experience is needed - just bring your creativity and enthusiasm! Don't miss out on this opportunity to explore your artistic side and connect with fellow bookbinding enthusiasts. Sign up now and let's get crafting together!
This online workshop will run in two parts:
Part 1: Sunday 12th May
Part 2: Sunday 19th May
Time: 10.30 am - 12.30pm both days
Both sessions will be RECORDED so if you can't join us live, you still can sign up and create it at your own convenience using the recordings that don't have expiry date!
