I would like to bring the magic of bookbinding at Nature in Art and be inspired by its beautiful surroundings.
We will be creating a Coptic style binding; with our own designed cover.
I will guide individuals through the process of making a book from scratch. The gathering of the materials, the decoration of the book covers, the folding of the papers, the sewing of the sections, will be a lovely way to relax and build a book with its very own identity.
Individuals will leave the workshop with a gorgeous book that they can keep for themselves or gift to someone special.
