BOOKBINDING: Begin Bookbinding
SATURDAY 16th JANUARY 10am to 4.30pm Begin to learn bookbinding techniques in a small group workshop. We will look at the importance of paper grain and how to fold, sew, and cover your books to create useful and beautiful books using basic tools. We will make a selection of folded and sewn books including a Japanese stab binding and a concertina with a hard cover. Each small book we make provides an opportunity to practise skills that will be useful for the next book, finishing the day with a collection of books. What to bring: All materials, including paper, board, various decorative papers, bookcloth, linen thread and adhesive to make your own uniquely designed books are included. Tools are provided for use on the day. Tea, coffee and biscuits or cake will be provided. You may like to bring a packed lunch. What you'll take away: You’ll take away your unique handbound books, new skills, and the satisfaction and well-being of a day spent creatively. Creative Courses is a multi-use creative space. Tea and coffee, quality teaching, and materials are provided… you just turn up and enjoy your day. There is plenty of parking and the venue is 15 minutes walk from Faversham train station. The Creative Courses workshop is on the first floor of Unit 1C. There is no lift.
