A workshop for those who enjoy taking time out to make beautiful handmade objects
This introductory workshop will show you two different binding techniques. We’ll use basic materials: needle, thread and PVA along with new and recycled paper and card to create unique handmade books. You’ll come away with two books that can be used as a personal diary, or as an album to house photographs, letters, favourite recipes or other mementos, or given as a gift for someone else to fill.
Materials will be supplied but you can also bring along any paper or card to use as part of your own book.

Monica Peters
Monica has been creating handmade books for over 25 years, mostly from whatever materials available at the time, and often while traveling. As a bona-fide bibliophile, she will show you a range of her own books: travel diaries, botanical forays, and artist’s books, a plethora of slim volumes filled with writing, poetry, photos, printed ephemera, drawings both abstract and realistic.
