Recent reviews of Bookbinding Workshop: Coptic Bind and French Link Stitch
- 5/5 from Jacqui Bourke, attended Aug 2026: I had a great time with Jodi and the other participants. The session was relaxed and Jodi was a good 'teacher' - flexible, patient and a wealth of knowledge. I learnt a new skill, picked up some tips and had fun. I came away with take-home information, a beautiful hand sewn notebook and the confidence to keep stitching. I'll definitely be signing up for other workshops with Jodi.

- 5/5 from Renae King, attended Aug 2025: We had the most lovely teacher, Jodi, help us with our Bookbinding (Coptic Bind and French Link) workshop. She was kindness itself from our first contact and right through – very accommodating with easy to follow instructions and cool, calm and collected when we made mistakes! It was a fun afternoon, meeting new people, and learning this new skill together. And I love my new, handstitched book. Absolutely recommend, and I look forward to another workshop

Our teacher was incredibly patient and got us all through our projects without a hitch. We loved it so much we have already booked to go back. It was the best craft workshop I have ever done. A beautiful day out in Brighton with a book to keep for the momory!

Not only did we learn how to create a beautiful bound book, we also learnt some interesting history. Our teacher was very knowledgeable and patient. The 3 hours really just flew by. At the end I had a completed project and I am so happy with it.
