    The Art of the Book

    The Art of the Book

    Immerse yourself in the fascinating and rewarding craft of bookbinding with our beginner’s tutorial and accompanying online video.

    All books start life as flat sheets of paper. The process of folding the paper into sections and sewing them together with needle and thread has been the basis on which books are made since ancient times. Experience a little piece of magic by turning this flat
    sheet of paper into a book.

    We are passionate about the Book Arts and supply all the materials & tools you need to bind a book.
