Whether you're planning a trip to Scotland and looking for fun things to do or you're a local after your next creative fix, this relaxing bookbinding class is sure to tick all your boxes.

With help from your friendly teacher, you will learn step-by-step the process of creating a stylish and durable book. Along the way, you'll choose papers, sew book blocks, line spines, and make the covers.

The sewn boards binding is an excellent starter book for beginners as well as those with some experience under their belts. It’s decidedly modern in construction but with a nod to classical bindings in its aesthetics!

By the end of this class, you’ll leave with a book entirely of your own creation – and some cool new bookbinding skills too!

Hello! I’m a self-proclaimed book nerd. And proud of it. I'm a professional bibliopegist, which means that bookbinding is my pastime, but it’s also my passion and profession.

I’m fascinated by the engineering of books and have an almost obsessive desire to learn and understand new structures.

I work out of a small studio on the idyllic Scottish island of Iona, (if you’ve never been, I highly recommend it; it is, amongst other things, the birthplace of the Book of Kells) where I’ve lived for ten years now. Iona’s landscape – its natural colours of sand sea and rocks – are a huge inspiration to me.

I am an experienced teacher and am excited to share the joys of bookbinding with you.
