Intro to Concertina Books w/ Abbie Mooney

Part of Sunny Bank Mills Print Festival 2025.

Concertina is a really playful technique that can be used to create a variety of books and sketchbooks and combined with other binding techniques to create more complex outcomes. In this introductory session, Abbie will guide you through the process of constructing a simple concertina as well as making a decorative hard cover which will enable you to add colour and personality to your book.

Faux Leather Journal Making w/ Short & Few

Part of Sunny Bank Mills Print Festival 2025.

In this workshop we will make a show-stopping journal, using the traditional bookmaking pamphlet stitch technique to bind multiple signatures into a faux leather wrap around cover and create a decorative spine in the process. Using provided templates and specialist equipment, we’ll plan the stitching for a decorative pattern on the spine; cut and collate our fabric and paper signatures; then stitch them together to create a satisfyingly chunky book, ideal for sketching, collecting and travelling.

Intro to Collagraph Printing w/ Abbie Mooney

Part of Sunny Bank Mills Print Festival 2025.

Collagraph is a traditional print technique that relies on building layers of texture that can hold ink to transfer your design from plate to paper. During this introductory session, Abbie will guide you through the process of layering textures and marks, and building tone, to create unique printing plates that will then be inked up and hand printed to create a range of original artworks.

Creative Self-Care Eco-Resin Workshop

After years of travelling to you for our self-care eco-resin workshops, Studio Dawn are permanently bringing them to their self-care sanctuary located in Leeds Corn Exchange.

Take some time for you, or with your friends and family to do something other than out for dinner and drinks.

Slow down, be creative and create something with your own hands, to be proud to display in your home as a constant reminder of what you’re capable of and to make sure you continue to take more time for you.
