Hardback Chain Stitch Bookbinding Workshop

Spend a day with our resident bookbinder, Cassandra Barron, and construct a durable hardback book with leather or pleather spine.

Customise your book using your choice of coloured threads as Cass takes you step by step through the process of binding your book using decorative exposed chain stitch. Incorporate plain, patterned or textured fabric into your cover, explore different stitch variations and work decorative pages, envelopes and a page divider into your book for a very personal outcome that reflects your creative interests and inspirations.

Check out CSSC'S upcoming paper-based workshops in Cyanotype Photography and Gelli Plate Printing as perfect workshops to compliment your new bookbinding skills.

All materials will be provided but you are welcome to bring along any of your own decorative papers to include in your book.
