Enjoy a calm and creative morning of mindful making in this bookbinding workshop led by Anita, owner of Papercrown NI. Storybox is collaborating by providing the space for this hands on session in their East Belfast studio.

During the workshop, Anita will guide participants through the full bookbinding process, teaching how to create a beautiful hardback notebook from start to finish. You’ll learn how to bind pages using waxed linen thread, attach bookcloth to greyboard and complete all the finishing steps needed to produce a high quality handmade notebook.

This workshop is ideal for beginners or anyone looking to refresh their bookbinding skills. It’s also a lovely opportunity to slow down, step away from busy routines and enjoy a relaxed, creative environment with others.
