Today there were 5 excellent people in the studio learning "Sewn Books". We learned a simple tape binding and a more complex coptic stitch, with lots of quality paper, colours and patterns.

There are very limited spaces left to join a bookbinding workshop this year. Link below to secure one of the last spots for 2026!

The wee table top guillotine has been in my possession a few years. I never tried him....

Nothing like a workshop to make stuff happen!

Been resurrecting him for the last couple of days so he can come to Te Uru on Sunday to teach with me 😊

There are still spaces available- you could come see him in action while you learn how to make a sewn book!

A few pics from yesterday's pamphlet stitching workshop. Four lovely attendees made 2 notebooks each (one with a soft cover, one with a hard cover.) They did so well!

I actually didnt take any other photos 🤣 I often dont! Its so nice to be present and enjoy the people and the craft.

Next up in the workshop line up is a sewn book workshop at Te Uru in Titirangi. Link in bio.

Next up in the 2026 Workshop Line Up:

PAMPHLET STITCHING

FRIDAY 21ST AUGUST / 11AM TO 3PM

This workshop is great for beginners upward.

Make 2 notebooks- a soft cover and a hard cover using a simple sewing technique.

The main focus is using adhesive to make a hard cover.

It follows the "Sewn Books" workshop really nicely, or as a stand alone. It's also a good one to do before the "Making Cloth" workshop and really rounding off a great set of binding skills!

The Binding Studio will be teaching at Te Uru in Titirangi on August 30th.

This is a perfect workshop for writers, poets, designers, and architects - anyone who has ever wanted a book truly their own.

Using a classic sewn structure, a soft cover and no adhesive, this is an ideal introduction to bookbinding: a gentle entry point into sewing techniques and a stepping stone to binding at home.

High quality, pre-cut materials are provided. Each participant leaves with a beautiful A5 book to keep.
