FAQs

What level is the course and do I need any particular skills?
No previous bookbinding experience is required to join our Beginners class. However, enrolment in Level 1 and advanced classes is only available upon successful completion of the Beginners course.

Participants should be able to follow simple written and verbal instructions, including health and safety guidelines. Basic numeracy skills, such as taking simple measurements and performing basic calculations, are also required.

How will I be taught?

  • One-on-one individual learning (private booking)

  • In-bindery tuition in groups of 8 - 11

    All sessions are taught with practical demonstrations and individual attention as required from a highly skilled and trained Bookbinder.

  • All our bookbinding course lasts up to 3 hours, with a small tea break.

Are there any other costs? Is there anything I need to bring?
For all in-bindery set courses, all materials and tools for working on will be provided along with refreshments (tea, coffee, biscuits).
