Whether you're a fan of Charles Rennie Mackintosh and want to celebrate his works or you're looking for some inspiration for a new project, come along to Mackintosh at the Willow in Glasgow and enjoy this themed bookbinding class.
During our day spent in this charming venue we will hand bind books with debossed covers inspired by the iconic Glasgow Style, looking at book designs from Mackintosh and contemporaries such as Talwin Morriss.
We’ll be spoiled culinarily as well as by the visual delights of our surrounds: we will enjoy a soup and sandwich lunch will be provided by the venue.
Fee includes lunch, tour, materials needed, and tools to use for the day. No experience is necessary, though those with some experience in bookbinding are very welcome.
You'll leave the class filled with reverence for the works of Mackintosh, along with your beautifully bound book as mementoes of this incredible experience.

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.
