All the tools and materials will be supplied and you will take home your handmade books, perfect to use as sketchbooks or notebooks, plus the skills to make more.

Refreshments will be provided, please advise on any dietary requirements at time of booking.

Megan Stallworthy trained in bookbinding over 30 years ago, and has been making and repairing books and teaching bookbinding ever since.
Drawing inspiration from the natural beauty of paper, linen and leather, Megan aims to make books that feel calm and subtle, brought to life by areas of colour, pattern or texture. The tactile nature of a book is also important to her; there is something so magical about the feel of a book in your hands and the movement of the turning pages. Megan’s books are above all practical- made to be used and to last.
