New to Bookbinding
If you are interested in learning about bookbinding you have come to the right place. No other club, tutor or college in Southern England offers such an affordable, flexible and complete beginners courses.
We run a Taster Morning for those wishing to give it a quick go, or a Beginner’s Course that covers a wide range of bookbinding skills.
The courses will progressively help you understand and practice the basic methods and techniques of making books. Once completed, the courses provide the foundation for further developing your skills and pursuing your own bookbinding/ bookcraft interests.
You can start the Beginner’s Course at any point during the year and attend on Club Days*. So you might be working alongside other beginners who are at a different stage.
You can work at your own pace in the bindery and get help and support from the tutor whenever you like. As you progress you will become more independent as you repeat some of the processes and techniques already learnt.
Once you have completed the courses, the Club provides excellent facilities and further guidance for any beginner that would like to join as a member.
