Further Detail
These books are relatively quick and affordable to make and they are perfect as gifts or can be made with children. The structure can also be developed into something more sophisticated. You will complete at least one book during the workshop and leave with a host of ideas on how to personalise your book. We will begin with the basic technique and then develop ideas using a range of different materials, beads, coloured or handmade papers or perhaps folded pockets and envelopes for a second book. If you wish you can bring personal ephemera to start filling your book.
Skills/Techniques Covered

We advise that you do not buy any materials required for a course more than two weeks in advance, because occasionally a course is cancelled due to low enrolment.
