In this workshop, you will learn simple book binding techniques, and embroidery on paper to create a pocket size notebook with a colourful abstract cover.
You will be guided through each step, from making the inside of your notebook to embroidering your cover. At the end of the session, you will leave with your own notebook, ready to use.
During this workshop, you will make your own small notebook, starting by making the signature (the pack of sheets for the notebook) then learn to ways to stitch them to the cover. You will also learn simple painting techniques and embroidery on paper, to create a unique abstract cover for your notebook. Finally, you will assemble the different parts and add the finishing touches.
The session is 3h, with ample time to go at your own pace and enjoy the process in a relaxed and supportive environment.
All materials and tools will be provided, so you only need a bag to take your creation home (and any painted papers you didn’t use during the session).
This workshop is open to anyone ages 18+ who wants to reclaim their creativity and explore new techniques with other gentle crafters. All levels are welcome, no previous experience is required.
