This new course offers a more flexible way to practice and develop your bookbinding skills in a series of themed workshop sessions taught by different specialist tutors. You can book the whole course or pick and choose individual sessions – it’s your choice.
Because the course is workshop based, you can attend as many sessions as you like and use the well-equipped studio to develop your projects. Sessions will also cater for those wanting to practice specific skills bookbinding, book arts and conservation/ repair and will therefore be supported by specialist tutors in those areas so you can choose which sessions are of particular interest to you if you prefer.
Although tutors may demonstrate some techniques as and when required by the needs of the students, it is not a taught course and will operate as a workshop with some group and one to one support.
