I don't normally do craft fairs but thought it would be a good way to let people know there is a bookbinder in the village 📚😊 it was a lovely event with some great local crafters. A few sales and a lot of interest in the workshops so a great day. I also had a stand for @Boundbyveterans and made a bit of cash to go back into the charity. #handmadenotebook #shoplocal #pewsey #creative #gifts #craftfair #handmadegifts #bookbinding #craftevent #sketchbook #prettypaper https://www.instagram.com/p/CU2ra84IaP5/?utm_medium=tumblr

A gorgeous selection of decorative stitch and adhesive free bindings from the first few days of @boundbyveterans @cityandguilds Level 2 online.

Thank you to @sobbookbinders @societyofbookbinders north wales and north west region for inviting me to do a cloth book repair workshop. It was a real joy to share skills with a very friendly and knowkedgable bunch of bookbinders. As always happens with book repair each book was different so we had a variety of techniques to cover including guarding pages, re-sewing, cloth jointed endpapers re-backing. This was part of the SoB Educational and Training Travelling Workshops scheme and it has been wonderful to be a part of it. #bookbindingtuition #bookcloth #bookbinding #bookrepair #bookrestoration #restoration #repair #handcraft #lovebooks #tuition #societyofbookbinders#clothbinding #clothreback #rebinding https://www.instagram.com/p/CTzUOc7Ilyb/?utm_medium=tumblr

I very much enjoyed working on this simple repair of a paper back. Some re-sewing and a new spine, saving as much of the original as possible. I particularly loved paring the edges of the card for the spine! The illustrations are great and it's wonderful to know the book will be read by another generation. #bookrepair #bookrestoration #handmade #bookbinding #calicothewonderhorse #childrensbooks #comics #renovation #handcraft #lovebooks #repair #paring #lovemyjob #oldbooks #bookcollector https://www.instagram.com/p/CTmFVYAIGuG/?utm_medium=tumblr

Something a little different. I thought I would gift my friends something other than a book for a change so created each a personalised mandala. #mindfulness #creative #craft #drawingtherapy #handmadegifts #handmade #giftideas #drawing #mandala #makeyourown #mandaladrawing #personalisedgifts https://www.instagram.com/p/CQtXGYJMzOz/?utm_medium=tumblr
