Positive Intentions Notebook I'm so happy to have such interest in this online workshop, bringing mindfullness into bookbinding.

Happy Spring Equinnox all. Keep calm and create! In response to the recent concerns regarding health and safety and in light of the government suggestions of unnecessary travel and gatherings I have made the sad decision to cancel my bookbinding workshops for the next few weeks. However, I intend to keep myself busy by making books and getting creative. I do hope you are all staying safe and can use your creative skills to while away the hours of isolation and maybe make some lovely gifts for others. Wishing you well #bookbindingworkshop #springequinox #creativecourses #makebooks #notebooks #stayindoors #keepcalm https://www.instagram.com/p/B99ob2_pH5S/?igshid=1j1g8dhaotcif

So delighted to welcome @wandarobins into my studio as part of her @societyofbookbinders Maureen Duke Award. She was awarded the bursary to gain 1-1 tuition and has been working towards her @cityandguilds in bookbinding. Two different styles of photo albums made over three days with beautiful results. Congratulations to Wanda not only for receiving the award but for her high level of binding. I look forward to seeing her in the studio for part two next year. #bookbindingworkshop #bookbinding #bookbindingtuition #makebooks #paperchase #shepherds #prettypaper #photoalbum #creativecourses #learnaskill #craftcourses #binding #books #handmadebook #handmade https://www.instagram.com/p/B6PvBZJp9dI/?igshid=fp097djt7qrs
