Book Binding with Jill Setterington
Join us for a gentle introduction to the art of book making, where you’ll learn the basics of crafting your own handmade quarter-bound, single section notebook (A6 size). Guided by local book maker Jill Setterington, this hands-on session is perfect for beginners and offers plenty of space to explore traditional tools and techniques at a relaxed pace. Whether you’re looking to try something new, build on existing creative skills, or simply enjoy a mindful afternoon of making, this workshop is a lovely way to spend your time at Left Bank.
All materials are provided, and you’ll leave with your own finished book along with the confidence to continue experimenting with book making at home. We can’t wait to welcome you!
