This workshop is suitable for complete beginners and those who may have dabbled during their university course.
Learn how to make books with Aimee from Woodle Books. Aimee has been bookbinding since 2012 and has worked for the Royal Collection at Windsor Castle and prestigious London Book Binders.
Woodle Books was started in 2017 when Aimee decided she wanted more freedom to do the work she wanted. Now specialising in handmade notebooks and private conservation work she was also commissioned to write a book during the Lockdown years. Sharing her passion for book binding with the wider world has been very rewarding. Bookbinding is a craft not a lot of people know is achievable at home with a few simple tools.
During the workshop you will be taught how to fold and manipulate paper and why grain direction is so important and how it’s recognised. You will get to choose the bookbinding cloth you cover your book with and get to choose the endpapers as well. A few trade secrets will be shared, including how to lock your thread onto your needle. All materials and specialist tools will be provided for you. At the end of the workshop you will have an A6, 170GSM, plain paper, single section notebook and the skills to go ahead and make more.
