Introduction to Bookbinding
Spend a day learning the basics of bookbinding from scratch. You will
learn about paper, folding, sewing and covering three different single
section notebooks with decorative papers: a soft cover pamphlet, a
pamphlet with pockets front and back, and finally making a hard case
pamphlet.
With the time left, using your skills learnt, you will design and
experiment making your own single section notebook. Please bring any
special decorative papers for this project or paper memorabilia to make
a special notebook for yourself or as a gift. If you do not have any,
don't worry, there will be plenty of beautiful papers available on the
day for you to choose from.
By the end of the day, you will have several completed handmade
notebooks to take home.
This workshop is suitable for complete beginners or those wanting to
improve their bookbinding skills.
All materials, a light lunch and refreshments are included in the
workshop fee.

Make a Collage Keepsake Book
We all have odd photos, postcards, memos, business cards and bits and
bobs lying around that we don’t want to throw away but for which we
can’t find a place.
In this workshop we will be making a hardback book
with many useful pockets for storing such things; alternatively it can
be used simply as an album for photos or recipes, with plenty of space
on each page for your own notes. It also makes a lovely present. In
short, it is an extremely versatile structure.
The fun of this workshop is not only the making of the book structure
itself but also the decoration of it with collage elements that we will
make ourselves. No experience in collage or book art is required and you
may come without any idea of what you would like your keepsake book to
look like - with collage inspiration tends to come with the bits and
pieces!
All materials, a light lunch and refreshments are included in the
workshop fee.

Make a Hardback Watercolour Sketchbook
This course aims to give you the initial skills and experience to put
together a hardback book from pre-cut materials. You will be
concentrating on how to sew and assemble a case bound, flat back, book.
This course is a good grounding before you embark on bespoke book sizes,
using challenging covering materials, and variations of case styles. You
should also come away with a book you will be able to use or give as a
gift.
We will be learning to sew a multi section watercolour sketchbook using
pre cut to size 350gsm paper. Using pre-cut boards we will learn how to
make a hard cover case for our book using a popular book binding
material called ‘buckram’. You will be able to choose your colours from
an array of off cuts from Ludlow bookbinders. We will add precut end
papers, prepare our book for casing in by dressing our spine, to give
strength to our book and then finally we will learn about making a
decorative label for our book. We will have a chance to deboss our
personalised title using a hot foil stamping machine.
The last step will be to put it all together, casing in our book block
and attaching our label.
This workshop is open to anyone, however it will be helpful if you
already have a little bit of bookbinding experience, for example by
attending our Introduction to Bookbinding workshop, or previous craft
experience.
All materials, a light lunch and refreshments are included in the
workshop fee.
