Layered Cross Stitch Bookbinding

About Layered Cross Stitch Bookbinding

Join us for a skill packed day of sustainable creativity with Cassandra Baron, learning her special contemporary take on bookbinding with this intriguing Layered Cross Stitch Bookbinding workshop. Create a chunky book with your choice of leather or faux leather cover and decorative exposed cross stitch incorporating different colours of thread. You can add lots of decorative pages, pockets, envelopes, a fastening and beaded page divider, all personalised to your own taste and inspirations. Once you’ve finished your book you’ll have some time to gather a selection of materials from our stash and start work on a second book that you can continue making at home with Cass’s follow up instructions to refer to. Check out our upcoming paper-based workshops in Cyanotype Photography and Gelli Plate Printing as perfect workshops to compliment your new bookbinding skills.

You will leave the workshop with a finished book as well as the skills and confidence to carry on bookbinding at home. We’ll even send follow up video instructions that you can refer to for a reminder of what is covered in class, and if you need a little time to finish at home. And if you’re hooked on books (you will be) Cass will have kits available to purchase for £15 at the end of the workshop.

All materials will be provided but you are welcome to bring along any of your own decorative papers to include in your book. This class comes with access to comprehensive video instructions should you want to make more books at home (they make great gifts).

This course is part of a new monthly series of bookbinding workshops, held on the last Tuesday of every month, with a new technique being showcased each time. You can drop in and learn just one technique, (all classes are suitable for complete beginners), or you can book them all and build up your repertoire of bookbinding skills!
