Bookbinding Workshop: Clever folds for artists books with Gillian Stewart
April 22nd 2023 @ 10:00 am - 5:00 pm
£95
Gillian Stewart is opening up her studio for a very small number of places this Spring, sharing some skills and creating beautiful objects together. A perfect chance to gather with a friend for a quiet day of making, fuelled by tea and biscuits.
This workshop is aimed at artists, printmakers and paper enthusiasts who are looking to incorporate bookbinding into their practice.
Led by a professional bookbinder, you’ll learn how to handle bookbinding materials and tools and create 5 new structures to take home. You’ll focus on methods that are perfect for artists books, allowing you to showcase or experiment with your work. Through the process of folding, cutting and binding, you will create new compositions and ways of understanding your work.
There will be an abundance of high quality materials to choose from, and because you’re gathering in Gillian’s studio you’ll have access to the full range of equipment, materials and tools. You’re more than welcome to bring any prints of your own work and you can look at how to incorporate those into your books.
Please let Gillian know at the time of booking if you have any dietary requirements.
