Developing Bookbinding Skills Catherine Firth and Emma Lloyd-Jones
Event details
Join Catherine Firth and Emma Lloyd-Jones for an opportunity to explore the skills and techniques associated with bookbinding in this hands-on workshop, which introduces a specific covering method for participants to create their own product.
This workshop builds on the skills introduced at the festival last year, using the basic link-stitch structure demonstrated in the online videos as a starting point. It is not necessary to have tried out the previous technique to join this year!
If you are interested in the foundations for this binding structure, you can read and/or watch the previous course material on making a link-stitch binding, and listen to the live Q&A that Catherine and Emma conducted about the technique last year. All of this can be found here.
All of the information and materials you will need to create your own binding are provided.
No experience necessary, but practical hand skills are required. Suitable for ages 16+.
