Bookbinding workshop - make a handbound photo album

Led by a professional bookbinder, you’ll learn how to make a bespoke A5 photo album hand using traditional and contemporary techniques. You’ll leave with a one-off album to gift or keep for yourself.

We’ll learn:

How to sew an exposed sewing pattern

Methods to attach photos and ephemera to your album pages

How to foil block a custom title

Making a hard cover

Allowing space for contents to be added


We'll hand sew our pages, creating a beautiful sewn pattern on the spine. We’ll also add a gold title to the cover using my foil blocking press to make it really special.
