On this one-day workshop, you will be introduced to some techniques of creating one-of-a-kind books. You will make a tactile multi-section binding. This idiosyncratic book can contain different coloured paper covers, enhanced with a decorative buttonhole stitch on the spine to assemble the sections.
You will take home a unique handmade book, which can be used as a resonant starting point for your own visual journal.
The course fee includes the cost of materials for your journal (excluding decorative papers, which may be purchased individually).
An apron and notebook.
Any special heavy weight paper for the cover decoration or items you may wish to incorporate
