Join this short and satisfying saddle stitch bookbinding taster workshop in London and learn how to turn your leftover scraps, artwork, or printed ephemera into a beautiful, functional notebook.

This 90 minute activity teaches you the basics of saddle stitch bookbinding – a fast and accessible technique that’s perfect for making your own journals, sketchbooks, zines, or thoughtful gifts. It's a great workshop for anyone wanting to explore low-waste craft and simple bookbinding in a relaxed and friendly environment.

• Fold your internal pages (specialist book paper is provided)
• Punch and stitch your notebook
• Complete a final trim for a polished finish

We'll start by creating a small notebook to cover the process and then you'll have time to utilise your offcuts to create a bigger, fuller notebook.If you don't have materials to bring, there will be plenty of coloured card and studio scraps on hand for you to create something unique.

You’ll leave the session with your own handmade notebook and the lasting skills to continue making many more from your own treasured materials.

What you'll get

• A small A6 notebook made by stepping through the process
• A finished A5 or 2xA6 notebook made by you from your offcuts
• 8 sheets of high-quality 130gsm internal paper (+2 for the demo book)
