Similar to Willy Wonka & his chocolate factory, Simon was going to share with me all his secrets from the bindery with a promise of me walking away with a finished bespoke book....Oh, be still my bibliophile heart! Don't let this course intimidate you! Having as little binding experience as wrapping contact paper over my Year 7's maths book, with Simon's expertise and his relaxed & fun teaching style, I successfully folded, stitched, glued & pressed my very own journal that I'll now treasure for many years!
I highly recommend this workshop for anyone looking for a new flex.

I attended the Beginner's Bookbinding Workshop conducted by Simon & it was such a joy to experience the essentials of introductory bookbinding being presented in such a comprehensive, step-by-step manner. I got to really appreciate how bookbinding is not only a craft form of the ages but also equally an art form.
The simplicity and ease in which the instructions were delivered by Simon was so refreshing and gave me the confidence to venture into binding my own books at home for journal writing & general note taking.
Thank you Simon for such an informative, productive & inspiring workshop.
