MAKE YOURSELF A JOURNAL

MAKE YOURSELF A JOURNAL

Date & Time


We regret to inform you that the event is now sold out.

Join experts, Avril Makula and Monica Oppen from the NSW Guild of Craft Bookbinders for a hands-on journal making workshop.

In this creative workshop you will make a multi-section journal, using a long-stitch binding.

This beautiful binding technique dates to the Middle Ages. Some of Leonardo da Vinci’s notebooks were long-stitch bindings.

This stitched, non-adhesive binding process means no messy glue. Since interest in book arts has flourished in the last 20 years, the long-stitch binding has once again become a fashionable hand-made journal binding style.

You will leave this workshop with a beautiful hand-made journal to fill with your thoughts and a set of new skills to inspire your creative journey.

All materials supplied and included in the workshop fee.

The paper of the bookblock lined and the finished book oversize A5.

A selection of decorative papers will be provided to create an attractive and protective cover wrapper.

Tickets: $80.00 (plus booking fee)

Class limited to 10 students, ticket link coming soon.
