One-Day Workshop

Limp Paper Binding

Tuesday 7th April 2026

Hull Scrapstore 10:00am – 4:30pm

£65 per person including materials

This one-day workshop is suitable for the beginner to bookbinding as well as those with some experience. All materials and tools will be provided
The limp paper binding is a straightforward but attractive book structure where the pages of the book are sewn in sections directly to a flexible card cover. A decorative paper wrapper is then applied but there are a number of design elements and alternative materials which could be applied to this style of book.
There are a maximum of ten places available so early booking is strongly advised to avoid disappointment. A non-refundable deposit of £30 is required when booking (PayPal link below), the rest (£35) being payable on the day by cash or cheque (sorry, cards are not accepted). Direct bank transfer may alternatively be used by prior agreement.
All the materials and tools required for the workshop will be provided, as will tea/coffee and biscuits. You will need to bring your own lunch, though there are shops a short walk away.
