Dates: Friday 2nd, 9th, 16th, 23rd October | 10am–1pm

Designed for both complete beginners and experienced returners.

Across four relaxed morning sessions, you'll discover the craft of bookbinding while exploring paper marbling and Coptic binding, one of the most versatile and rewarding book structures to learn.

Beginning with the fundamentals, you'll become familiar with the tools, materials and techniques used in contemporary bookbinding before gradually building the confidence to create your own beautifully hand-bound books. Coptic binding is a favourite among many bookbinders because it allows books to lie completely flat when open, making them ideal for sketchbooks, journals and artists' books.

Whether you're completely new to bookbinding or looking to expand your existing skills, this course offers the time to develop your confidence while creating a finished book to take home.

You will learn:

• The fundamentals of Coptic bookbinding.

• How to prepare, fold and sew book sections.

• An introduction to paper marbling for creating your own covers.

• How to use traditional bookbinding tools and materials with confidence.

All materials and equipment are provided, and both beginners and experienced bookbinders are welcome. If you have your own favourite tools, papers or materials, you're welcome to bring them along. Tea and coffee are provided throughout the course, and Cherry Farm Café is next door if you'd like lunch, cake or refreshments.

Date: Tue 13 October | 1pm–5pm

We're often taught to draw only what we can see, but much less time is spent exploring how to draw from our imagination. Learning to invent images allows us to build a closer relationship with the way we draw, helping us become more confident in creating places, stories and dream-like scenes.

During this 3-hour workshop, we'll begin with a series of drawing exercises designed to loosen up before exploring imaginative drawing through a combination of drawing and collage techniques. You'll be encouraged to experiment, take creative risks and discover new ways of developing your ideas on paper.

You will learn:

• Techniques for developing ideas through imaginative drawing. 

• Ways to combine drawing and collage to build compositions. 

• How to draw with greater confidence and creative freedom. 

All materials and equipment are provided, and no previous experience is necessary. If you have your own favourite drawing materials, you're welcome to bring them along. The workshop takes place in our fully equipped studio in the heart of Abbotsbury.
