Simple Bookbinding

Discover the different ways in which old books were made, by looking at examples in Marsh's Library. Then you will produce your own simple leather bound book, using paper folding techniques, pasting and stitching. You will finish the workshop with your own beautifully handmade notebook, ready to present as a gift, or keep for yourself. This is one of our most popular children's workshops and always proves to be a lot of fun and very rewarding.
