We’ll start with an introduction to the world of bookbinding, providing step-by-step instructions. You’ll learn about different types of books, the tools involved, and how to assemble your pages into beautiful creations. You’ll enjoy making your own notebooks, sketchbooks, and journals.
In the afternoon, the focus shifts to creativity. You’ll design and craft your own sketchbook diaries using printmaking, drawing, and painting techniques to add your personal touch.
