What you'll do

Join for our festive Christmas workshop where you will learn how to create handmade tree decorations, personally designed leather or copper notebooks, and personalised engraved leather gift tags. These projects are the perfect way to add a personal touch to your Christmas gifts and decorations this holiday season.

Feeling hesitant as a beginner? Fear not! Our workshop is suitable for all skill levels, including beginners with a knack for crafts and those with some experience looking to enhance their skills. We will provide all the professional tools and materials you need, along with an abundance of mince pies and tea to keep you fuelled throughout the session. (And who knows, maybe a dash of mulled wine for extra festive spirit!)

Throughout the workshop, you will have the opportunity to work with a variety of materials and techniques, guided by our experienced instructors. You can expect to feel a sense of accomplishment as you create unique and handcrafted decorations and gifts, perfect for yourself or your loved ones.

At the end of the workshop, you will leave with the beautiful creations you've made, ready to adorn your home or gift to someone special. So come along, have fun, and delve into the world of handmade Christmas delights with us!

Phoenix Handmade Books

Hello I’m Will Phoenix and I've always been slightly obsessed with books... thou not the reading type, but the empty ones...the dusty old journal, them marbled edged Victorian ledgers, the ageing leather notebook or the beautiful sketch pad. A constant sketcher, i still carry around a pencil and pad, happily losing myself drawing (instead of finger tapping a smart phone).

As bookmaker (I don't call myself a binder) I recently fell heavily for leather work, a new apprenticeship almost. After spending substantially more than the much talked about "10, 000 hours" on embossing (repoussé) soft metals, I felt it time for a fresh challenge. I started at the basement level and repeated what i did 24 years ago when I picked up my first sheet of metal to shape into a book cover

I presented my work for sale since the beginning and in this world of the cheap/mass produced, I've realised there is still a small place for the individual, the actual unique 'one of a kind' piece. I carry no airs and graces and never over-precious about my work. I simply makes books. I’m looking forward to teaching., Kindest Regards

Will
