Best for those interested in traditional bookbinding.

Join us for an enriching experience at the Owl and Lion Bindery and learn the art of creating handcrafted books from an expert. In this workshop, participants will delve into the intricacies of folding and manipulating paper using specialist bookbinding tools.

Learn to make two “hardback" books, in the traditional format. By the end of the workshop, you'll not only have crafted your own set of books but also gained the skills to continue creating at home with minimal equipment.

This workshop is one of our two-part series of introductory bookbinding workshops. While we encourage participants to take all two workshops for a comprehensive understanding, it's not mandatory. However, completing all two workshops in order provides a solid foundation in bookbinding, especially for beginners.

Don't miss this opportunity to unleash your creativity and embark on a journey of craftsmanship. Reserve your spot today and discover the art of bookbinding at Owl and Lion Bindery!
