Bookbinding with Bridget  - Workshop

Bridget Seaton - Artist and Teacher

Make two  beautiful books with handcrafted covers - a restful combination of art and craft.

The Glyde-In Community Learning Centre

Learn two different bookbinding techniques in this one day workshop. Learn how to fold, cover, assemble and stitch two beautiful hand crafted books that are perfect as journals or that special gift. The first book involves creating a bespoke cover using a unique cover treatment on watercolour paper with ink and plant forms. This heavy duty watercolour paper will be transformed into a 40 page book together with linen tape and decorative link stitch binding. The second book is a hardbacked hinged book that features the Japanese binding technique of Asa- na-ha Toji. For this book you can choose from a selection of colourful decorative papers, linen book cloth and coloured threads. Each step is demonstrated and Bridget has made the process easier for you by pre-cutting most of the paper and card. Templates are supplied to help you with any measuring. All tools and materials provided as well as a set of how to notes so that you can continue the craft at home. Suitable for any level.
