This workshop is being delivered from a sustainability-focused creative waste-reduction perspective and involves creating a hand-bound book which will be suitable for journaling, to use as a photo album, or a notebook. Throughout the workshop we will explore the use of a range of repurposed and upcycled papers, whilst you engage in the art of hand making your own beautiful papers, and then we will use gentle slow stitching to incorporate each of your papers into pages of a unique bound book. Leave with your own hand crafted papers, book, and skills to keep forever. No experience is required and the workshop is suited to adults due to materials and equipment used.
