2025 is brimming with possibilities, making it the perfect time to start a new journal, with each page ready to be filled with fresh ideas and opportunities!
Keeping a journal is a wonderfully creative way to delve into your thoughts, feelings, and inspirations. It becomes even more rewarding when you craft your own journal, infused with your unique personality and artistic touch.
In this four-hour workshop, you will learn the art of bookbinding as you handcraft a hardcover journal from beginning to end, using stitch binding and selecting from a stunning array of papers in our extensive collection.
You will learn:
  • Measuring and cutting cover boards, spine & spacer
  • Hand sewing and gluing up of signatures
  • How to make a hardcover, applying endpapers & casing in
  • Adding decoration to your journal cover
You can choose from petal, recycled, Japanese, hand-dyed or natural fibre papers to make your journal and can add all kinds of decoration and embellishments to your cover design.
By the end of the class, you'll leave with a beautifully finished A5 journal that you can gift or use as an opportunity to step away from your keyboard and reconnect with your creativity.
