Punching Cradle & Four Pamphlet Books
SUNDAY 1ST MARCH 10am to 4.30pm Making Pamphlet Books is a great introduction to bookbinding for beginners. We’ll start the day making a punching cradle, a useful tool that makes it easier to pierce through the folds of your paper sections precisely and consistently. We’ll put your new tool to work straightaway and make a collection of 4 pamphlet books using a variety of stitches to bind them. You will learn beginning bookbinding techniques. 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, sewn, and trimmed soft cover books. All materials, including paper, board, various decorative papers, and linen thread to make your own uniquely designed books are included. Tools are provided for use on the day. You’ll take away your new tool, unique handbound books, new skills, and the satisfaction and well-being of a day spent creatively. Creative Courses is a multi-use creative space where you’ll meet new people, learn new skills, and be playful and creative in a relaxed, friendly environment. 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 workshop is on the first floor of Unit 1C. Unfortuntely, there is no lift.
