'Say it with books' - book making workshops for creative people.



Creative people have stories to tell, and what better way to tell your story than by creating simple hand-made books on beautiful paper that will stand the test of time.
‘Say it with books’ is a starter book making session for those who would like to learn some simple book structures that will equip you with new ways to express your creative voice.
Using the traditional tools and quality papers provided you will be guided through a series of exercises in folding, cutting and very easy sewing to produce four book structures including a leporello (concertina book), a simple sewn pamphlet book with a decorated card cover and a folding pocket book for keepsakes that makes a perfect gift.
The session will also cover suitable papers, the importance of paper grain and the tools required for you to go it alone.
Refreshments will be provided. Classes are restricted to 5 applicants in order to allow individual attention to be given where needed.

What participants say.....

What I most loved about our morning workshop was ;

  • Coming into such an inviting creative space with everything so beautifully prepared.
  • So many lovely inspiring examples of your work to peruse. 
  • Your relaxed, informative, engaging and accessible style which meant the group was so well facilitated. 
  • Coming away with four book types in such a short time, having built some real confidence through well designed practical sessions. 
  • The small group size which meant lots of individual attention when the inevitable beginner errors were made! 
  • A lovely friendly group of people keen to support each other bringing a range of experience and skill. 
'Thank you' Caroline for a great morning. I’m leaving really motivated to create more.

As someone who leads workshops I sincerely hope that I am half as clear as you are. You made the whole morning so easy to follow, and I was surprised how much ground we covered........ producing books of such beauty I honestly didn't want the morning to end.

You have genuinely inspired me.

Just to say thank you very much for your workshop on Friday. I liked it especially because it was above all else so practical. I had wondered how you would manage to cover the 4 separate books during the morning. I  was impressed that you managed it by being so organised- and I cant think of any improvements!

Thank you very much for such an enjoyable morning. I've wanted to make books for such a long time and your class was just a perfect beginning.

I really look forward to coming again and discovering more.

I thought the whole session went very well and you made it very easy to follow and helped us out so nicely when we went a little astray. Thanks!
