Discover the craft of making your own books
In this half-day class, you learn how to make a simple thread sewn notebook and also learn the art of Japanese stab binding. You end our session with an A6 notebook and an A5 stab bound booklet to take home: something for you to enjoy using yourself or a perfect gift!
All tools and materials are provided.
What you will learn
In a relaxed, informal group of no more than six people, we start by learning some of the basics of bookmaking. You also have an introduction to the tools we will be using.
Matt will then guide you through the process of creating both of our notebooks. We will take this slowly, step by step. You will be impressed at what you produce.
Finally, you learn a little more about where you can take your book making next and we will celebrate what we have created!
Your tutor for the session is Matt Parker

I gained a much better understanding of photography and I really enjoyed the idea of storytelling. I haven’t ever really engaged with photographs in this way before – seeing them more as just snaps – so literally my eyes have been opened! You are very good teacher and dealt with all my questions very patiently!

I really liked your themes and exercises on the photo locations. It gave me a starting point but also helped seeing my environment with different eyes hunting around for some good shots. I learned a lot in a short time and didn't realise how quickly it went. I'm already using what I learnt and it has become second nature.
The relaxed atmosphere really helped in not feeling like a photography newbie and knowing that anyone can take great photos without having to know all the ins and outs of photography. It's a great introduction to taking proper photos with your smart phone.

Thank you, Matt, for an enjoyable and interesting day.
It was well planned out and in a small group, it was easy to learn. You were very open to questions and adapting to the skill and interests of everyone on the course.

"I loved this workshop. Matt is a brilliant, inspiring and patient teacher. I’m one of those who gets frustrated that struggled to take the pictures I can see in my mind. Matt talked us through some key tools and approaches to help and when putting these into practice, he provided guidance, pointers and encouragement. Over the course of just one morning, I was able to see definite improvements in how I take photographs which made me very happy. The afternoon was my first attempt at editing photographs and it was so much fun! Matt explained the various options to give us some confidence and then encouraged us to play, offering opinions when useful. The range of pictures we created as a group was lovely to see. Matt answered lots of questions from us all and clearly knows his subject and really loves to share it with others. I came away with a lot of ideas and renewed energy around taking photographs and knowing how to practise the tools to create some really interesting images – lots of playtime ahead! Thanks Matt – I will definitely be back for more."

I was lucky enough to attend a workshop with Matt and learned so much. Matt is an excellent tutor and presented the information in a clear and accessible way. He encouraged us to use our mobile phone cameras to take pictures that went deeper than the usual quick snaps. I took a photo that I really love which I had printed and have hung on the wall at home. I highly recommend this training if you want to explore better mobile phone photography.

For someone whose main ideas of photos previously had been a recorder of family events, the course was an eye opener.
The main attraction, however, is Matt's experience and ability to put this across. Matt has an excellent portfolio to illustrate his ideas and is a clear communicator in getting this across.
Very highly recommended.

Matt’s photography training simplified the photography process. He inspired me to be much more creative, seeing photographic possibilities in a whole range of subjects. I’d really recommend one of his workshops.
