Bookbinding Workshops
Bookbinding has always been taught by doing and the tradition of master, journeyman and apprentice endures in the spirit of workshop learning.
Students should learn to work with the tools, watch the methods and lay their hands on the materials.
​
I offer single-day workshops exploring the foundational forms, stitches, sewings, and materials of bookbinding.
​
I often teach at the Georgian Bay school for the Arts and the Southampton Arts Center.
