making your own handmade books

I am so excited to be planning and organising the bookmaking workshop and retreat that is only a handful of weeks away. There are still places, either as a live in, or just day attendance. The workshop and retreat is held in Leura / Katoomba. It has lessons and demonstrations, plus plenty of time to work on your own projects. You might like to work on a book you get professionally printed or you might like to make a handmade book. We can help you with design, layout, editing content, software, book makers, and a wide variety of hand made book techniques and designs.

This year Clair has joined the team with Shirley Steel and myself. 23rd - 27th March 2026. Its five full days, so you’ll need to meet with us Sunday evening and be prepared to finish late Friday night.

To wet your appetite what follows are some images from our last bookmaking retreat in the Blue Mountains. By the end of the week we had the dinning room table covered in artworks.

You don’t need any previous experience to attend. This is simply just a fun and very hands on week. We absolutely love it and can’t wait to see everyone there.

Why don’t you join us, and book by following the link and paying the booking fee.
