6 hours Class size 6 to 10 guests       £75 (PayPal Pay in 3 available)

Join us for our new and exciting bookbinding workshop and make a leather journal with refillable pages, ideal for travel memories.
This workshop is great for anyone who has an interest in bookbinding. Make it for yourself or someone else as a beautiful handmade gift.
The journal will have a beautiful outer cover, choosing from leather or vegan-friendly felt. It will contain several notebooks, each with different papers for you to select if you'd like writing, sketching, or designing—the choice is yours.
You will create the notebooks and customise them with pockets and folders, so there is space for all those little extras such as tickets, etc., making it ideal as a travel journal. We will also add clips for extra notes and a handy pen holder.
The best bit... the internal notebooks are removable, so once you have filled it up, just take it out and replace it with a new one!
At the end of this workshop, you will have a beautifully bound book as well as the skills and knowledge to create more at home.
What you'll get
Includes tea, coffee, and biscuits. There is an extra cost of £15-£20 at the end of the workshop for materials, depending on what you use, payable to the tutor on the day. If you have some leather yourself that you would like to use, please bring it along and we can check its suitability.
Knowledge required
This is a beginner-friendly workshop and is ideal for those with some experience looking for a new style of journal.

female Women-owned

Launched in 2014, Lechlade Craft Barn was created by Karen Holland and is based in an old stone barn at Karen’s Cotswold home in the beautiful market town of Lechlade-on-Thames. Lechlade is on the borders of Gloucestershire, Wiltshire, and Oxfordshire not far from Cirencester, Burford and Swindon. The barn is full of character and inspiration, a perfect environment to get crafty!
Karen wanted to share her passion for crafting with others and starting with just 3 or 4 different workshops the demand for more crafting soon increased. Led by Karen and her team of talented tutors there is a wide range of affordable craft workshops to choose from such as crochet, mosaics, lampshade making, block printing, silversmithing, bookbinding, lino cutting, stained glass, pyrography, silver clay, and much more.
All workshops are aimed at beginners and upwards – whether you’re exploring a craft for the first time or topping up existing skills, each workshop is fun and relaxed. Craft your way to happiness with a craft barn workshop or one of the kits available to make at home.
Crafty Parties are a great way to spend fun time with friends or family celebrating a birthday or hen party. Spend a couple of hours or a whole day, even those non-crafty friends enjoy themselves!
Karen has been making things since a small child. At primary school she made a needle case for the Christmas Bazaar, bought it herself and is still using it 50 years later! Having learned how to knit, crochet, and sew at a young age, Karen was making her own clothes by the age of 11.
We all have busy lives, families and work commitments that all take priority. During the Pandemic we found crafting the perfect boost needed for everyone's wellbeing and we should be giving ourselves a little 'me' time to unwind. What better way to do it than crafting!
You're never too old to learn a new skill. Karen has just taught her mother to crochet at the age of 84!
