BOOKMAKING WORKSHOP

QUARTERBOUND BOOKMAKING WORKSHOP

I will guide you step by step to make a unique and beautiful hardback notebook for those treasured notes.

Through this process you will learn basic bookmaking skills and techniques which will start you on your journey into bookmaking into notebooks, folders, albums ... It is also a very useful workshop to get back to basic and pick up some tips on the way.

Book will have 5 signatures of folded good quality laid paper which will be sewn together. We will make our own book cloth with a cotton material of your choice and add a complimentary spine cover and inside endpapers
