Join this journal making class in London and craft a one-of-a-kind handmade book using a vibrant medley of papers and textures.
Join us for a relaxed and inspiring evening of creativity at one of our partner venues. Hosted monthly on Thursday evenings at The Vine, these workshops are designed to bring people together through the joy of making, whether you come solo, with a friend, or as part of a small group.
In this welcoming, guided session, you'll be introduced to simplified traditional bookbinding techniques, reimagined in a modern and accessible way. Working with a thoughtfully curated selection of tactile materials, you'll create a unique handmade journal.
What to expect:
Led step-by-step by your friendly tutor, you will:
  • Learn how to assemble your journal using accessible bookbinding techniques
  • Explore a rich mix of materials, from cartridge paper to handmade sheets, fabrics, and patterned papers
  • Create a beautifully balanced, tactile composition that feels both personal and refined
With plenty of hands-on guidance throughout, this session offers a calm, low-pressure environment where you can switch off, connect, and enjoy the process. It's a great place to start, and everything will be set up for you – no prior experience needed.
You'll leave with a beautifully crafted, tactile keepsake, perfect for holding sketches, notes, or future ideas, and a fresh spark of creative energy to carry home.
Please note: If you can't make this date, join us another month; we run this workshop monthly.
