No previous experience of bookbinding is necessary and up to 8 participants can be tutored per session. Suitable for children ages 5 and up, and adult learners. Books made by participants during workshop sessions can be taken away. If you or your organisation is interested in a workshop or private tutoring please contact me for further details. |
