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.

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.
