Bookbinding – Miniatures 2
Description
Flex your fingertips and spend the day investigating some classic and contemporary book structures scaled down to make miniature artists’ books. We’ll play with folds, movement, texture, colour and covers to create unique works. Bring content or ideas you’d like to work on or develop your piece from scratch on the day.
There will be a charge of £5-6 payable to the tutor on the day for materials. Some tools will be available to purchase during the workshops.
