In this upcycle-tastic Book-Binding workshop, you will learn all the skills needed to make your own leather (or faux leather) covered notebook with an exposed cross stitch spine - perfect as a personalised gift or present to yourself.

Step-by-step instruction and support is given throughout by our Book-Binding tutor, Cass, resulting in a beautiful covered cross-stitched leather notebook, with recycled paper pages for you to take home. All materials and tools are provided but please feel free to bring your own leather off cuts, paper (maps/envolopes/wrapping paper/photos), ribbon and/or buttons to add a personal touch. 

Instructions will be provided so that you can make even more unique, handcrafted upcycled books from the comfort of your own home.  

Here's what a few of our customers from past classes had to say about the workshop:

"Loved it!" - Kim
"Great workshop, such fun!" - A.Morrison
"Very interesting and well organised" - Dave
"Please do more courses!" - Jane
"Had a great afternoon - good instruction & good tea & good chat!" - Liz

Learn this fantastic skill, and start upcycling and reusing material scraps today. These books also make a wonderful gift!
