Bookbinding workshops
Celandine Books workshops take place at arts centres and book festivals in Devon, Cornwall and Somerset, or bespoke workshops can be arranged at your own venue.
Traditional and contemporary book forms are taught. Each one day workshop focuses on one or two book structures, and is suitable for complete beginners and for those who would like to learn a new structure in a friendly and supportive group (maximum 10 people), with all the tools and materials supplied.
You will learn traditional bookbinding techniques using specialist tools and materials, with lots of expert tips shared along the way, and take away your own handmade books plus the skills to make more at home.

Bespoke workshops
Workshops can be arranged for groups and individuals. I work with artists, designers and photographers, as well as groups including the Society of Botanical Artists, the NHS Art for Life programme and the charity Headway.
I have many years of experience as a visiting and associate lecturer, teaching bookbinding to art and design students at colleges and universities, and welcome invitations to teach in all settings.
You can choose from the workshops below, or talk to me about your ideas for something else. Contact me for more information and to arrange your workshop.
