Carole is fresh from the very popular Craft Festival Wales event. We are delighted to welcome her at Popty. Her range of handbound books and screenprinted papers are stunning.

Saturday 5 October 2024 • 10am-4.30pm • Tea and coffee provided, please bring your own lunch • Limited to six participants • £60 per person including all materials

Books with coptic bindings lie flat on the table when open and so are great as sketchbooks. This looser style of binding allows you to stick a few items onto the pages without stressing the spine. Under Carole’s expert guidance, you’ll create your own hardback sketchbook, choosing from a selection of handprinted paper to bind the covers. Your sketchbook will have around 80 pages of 140gsm white cartridge suitable for all dry media and light watercolour, interspersed with coloured paper to add interest on the spine. Each completed book will measure around 15 x 21.5cm.

Suitable for adults with little or no bookmaking experience.
