There is something magical about running your fingers over the spine of a hand-bound book. Lean to make your own in this beginner workshop at Soetmelksvlei. We’ll explore the Japanese style of binding, known for its simplicity and beauty. It is a wonderful introduction to traditional craftsmanship. Each participant will bind their own book to take home. Bookbinding is a valuable and fun skill. Handmade notebooks make meaningful and unique gifts, at the same time promoting sustainability and the use of natural materials. After a hands-on morning, we’ll enjoy a hearty lunch at the Old Stables Restaurant before heading back.
