Spring Workshops at The Book Tree Press
As promised, I am happy to announce a series of Spring Workshops.
This set of three intimate workshops will give you the chance to give bookbinding a try for the first time, or to learn some new skills if you have never made a book before. All abilities are welcome for each workshop, and to keep the workshops nice and cosy and give each of even more of my attention there are only 4 places for each workshop and book early! Don’t worry if they book up I will add more dates.
