On completion of the workshop students will leave with a set of their own books and the skills to make more at home using minimal equipment. Introduction to Bookbinding 1 is the first in a three-part series of introductory bookbinding workshops at 4bid.
You are encouraged, but not required, to take all 4 workshops in order.
