| The Guild holds courses in bookbinding several times each year. As well as the basic introductory course, more advanced subjects such as restoration and box/case making are covered. Course dates are dictated by demand and the availability of the tutor. Details of courses will be posted here as soon as they are scheduled. |
Applications are open for the Introductory Bookbinding course scheduled for Saturday 30 and Sunday 31 October 2010. A follow-up morning on Saturday November 6 is offered at no extra cost to introduce students to the equipment available through the Guild and to allow them hands-on experience in gold tooling and type blocking. |
Dates of the next Restoration Course will be posted here as soon as the course is scheduled. Please note that a certain level of experience is required before attempting this course. |
| Workshops |
June McNicol holds a free open workshop for members on the first Saturday of every month, from 9am to lunch. If you want to use the Guild's equipment - guillotine, plough, blocking press etc., or just want a bit of help, contact June (07 3848 3774) no later than the night before.
