Beginners Courses

Each course is complete in itself, but the three courses follow each other in a series. Together the three courses make up a complete introduction to the most common techniques and principles of hand-bookbinding.

Master Classes

Each course offers comprehensive training in a specific area of bookbinding. They are all taught by the crafts-people from our own bindery at Shepherds, all of whom are experts in their fields with many years of experience working in a busy commercial environment.

 

These 'Master Classes' are aimed at people who already have some knowledge of bookbinding.

It is essential that those wishing to apply for these courses have either completed our three Beginners Courses or have equivalent experience and a general working knowledge of bookbinding.

 

Detailed notes will be supplied for each course and a list of necessary items to bring where appropriate.

 

Courses are run over two days and are held on Tuesdays and Wednesdays during the week and on Saturday & Sundays at weekends.

 

Mondays are 'Study' days where for a small extra charge students can work in the bindery on their own projects.
