Learn the art of hand bookbinding in this new one-day workshop. You will be guided through the process of creating a fully hand bound artist book or diary. You will be encouraged to utilise recycled or found materials to incorporate into your book, such as found or old magazines, books, artworks, fabrics, and recycled papers. Learn how to curate old drawings, prints or artworks into an artist book or simply create your own unique diary from scratch. This is a great opportunity to utilise old artworks or tests that are just sitting in storage.
