Bookbinding workshop

A great wee workshop for making lots of little notebooks, perfect for Christmas stocking fillers and tiny journaling!

Using leather or pleather, you will be guided in how to make a number of different notebook bindings using nothing more than material, paper and thread!

Once you have the skills to make these notebooks you can scale them up or down as you wish to be able to make many more!

All materials will be provided. This workshop is suitable for adults (16+), no experience required.

Beth Lancaster is a book binder based on the outskirts of Lanark. She designs and makes books to sell using many different techniques and papers collected from people and places all around the world. She is a climate conscious person and wherever possible uses unwanted materials in her book binding. This leads to many unusual, beautiful creations all of which are unique.
