Lovely feedback from participants:

“I wanted to thank you for the brilliant bookbinding day on Friday. I’m still thrilled when I look at and handle the book I made! Your teaching is spot-on: clear and well-paced, very listenable-to, and always allowing enough time for us watch then do. I really like your style of tutoring, and totally enjoyed the day! That includes the cake, and the great cake stand!…” 

“Thank you for a great day on Friday – it was totally absorbing, I really enjoyed myself and am so pleased with the book I made(- my partner was very impressed!) It was really good to work with you, find out more about your work and also to meet new people keen to try their hand at something new. I always enjoy learning, and your expertise coupled with your calm, easy going manner made it a fantastic way to start the weekend.”

Concertina book making at a Farm

I had a great day last Friday with a lovely group of women delivering a concertina book making workshop at a farm in Corsham. It was a cold misty November morning, but we were cosy working away in a perfect out house with a wood burner. Thank you to Susie (who organised the day at her farm) for being a great host and providing us with refreshments and a delicious lunch.
