Join us for a taster session for the complete beginner to bookbinding. We will use materials found in the recycling bin to make notebooks and sketchbooks and with simple stitching techniques. These can be given as gifts to loved ones or you can use them (as I do) for sketchbooks or list keeping. It's a fabulous way to use up your card recycling and you will also have a choice of beautiful quality wallpapers for the covers of your handstitched book.
9.15am- 2.45pm Our walk in October takes us past Sezincote, where we can view ( from a bit of a distance) the very Unique Indian influenced house in the Cotswolds. We start from the village of Longborough then walk across the fields on a pretty flat walk good for everyone, to Bourton on the hill. From there we walk up the long drive to Batsford Arboretum where there is a large cafe.
Monday 28th October 9.30am-12.30pm In this class we will take leather and alternative fabrics and turn them into beautiful hand-decorated bookmarks. Kate will show you how to use metallic paints and basic embroidery stitches to decorate the plain bookmark shape before customising further with a tassel. These make beautiful gifts and Kate will share helpful tips on designing your bookmarks on paper, painting botanical shapes and inspirational ideas.
