About this event

Dive into the rich history of bookbinding and master essential techniques that have been passed down through generations. From understanding paper grain to perfecting your stitching, you’ll gain skills that connect you to centuries of artisans. No prior experience necessary—we’ll guide you through every step.

You’ll choose your preferred cover type and design, spine color, and page style to hand-sew and bind three Barrovian Booklets to take home. Also, first round is on us! Your ticket includes one drink of choice from the Drawing Room bar.

This workshop is perfect for anyone curious about traditional crafts, those seeking a mindful, screen-free activity, gift-givers looking for unique experiences, or couples or friends wanting to try something new together.
