If you love perusing the shelves, selecting a spine that speaks to you, settling in and cracking open an unread book, this Sydney workshop is for you!

You’ll spend a full day learning to sew an A5 book to encase your favourite written work, guided by the talented Mitch Lackenby of Paperazzi Design Studio. Mitch will cover the importance of paper direction and grain, essential bookbinding tools and where to find them, and a comprehensive method and technique to create your very own hardcover, soft spine book.
Case or edition-bound books are ideal for journals or notebooks and make great handmade gifts for the wordsmiths in your life. There will be plenty of decorative papers, ribbons and covers to customise your creation.
This five-hour workshop for absolute beginners includes all materials and notes, and direct access to Mitch’s mind for seasoned papery guidance. Start the next chapter in your literary adventure and get some shelf-awareness: it’s bound to happen.
Please note: This class requires at least five students to run. In the unlikely event that we don't get this number of students, we'll cancel the class and fully refund you and inform you via email, so please watch your email a few days prior to the class.

We will inspire you to pick up that pen, paintbrush, hammer or sewing machine and flick the switch that will kickstart a whole new way of life.
Community values lie at the heart of our project. We collaborate with local artists and industry experts to teach classes and utilise local suppliers for any materials needed. We also provide a creative environment for emerging artists to produce and sell work, and meet like minded individuals.
