Great Class

If you are even a tiny bit interested in book binding, go for this course! Kate (our teacher) is brilliant, she is very knowledgable, she is an artist book binder and a fantastic teacher. I was so impressed with the level of technicality I gained during this short workshop. Not to mention the fun of creating your own notebook, which is just stunning. Thank you Kate for a fantastic experience :)
