In this case-bound bookbinding workshop, you'll learn the fundamentals of creating a sturdy, professionally finished book. Case binding, known for its durable hard cover, is a traditional method for making long-lasting books. During the workshop, you’ll be guided step-by-step through assembling the pages, preparing the spine, and constructing the book’s cover to make a beautifully bound book. This hands-on experience is perfect for anyone exploring the art of bookbinding and those interested in creating a personalised, high-quality book from scratch.
