About Bookbinding Workshop - The Station
Have you ever wondered how fine and antiquarian books were made? The art and craft of book making dates back over two thousand years, but whether thats works from ancient China, Japanese designs, the rich tradition of Islamic bookbinding, or the leather-bound volumes of stately-home libraries, the principles are similar: papers are sewn together and secured within a protective, often decorated, casing.
In this workshop led by local bookbinder, Delphine Ruston, see for yourself how books start life by making two books of your own to take away a 3-hole pamphlet (or chap book), and a single-section, hardback notebook. With a few materials, tools and simple skills, its possible to make attractive books to put to whatever use you wish.
All materials provided.
