In this enchanting workshop, children will embark on a magical journey to learn the art of bookbinding. Led by our friendly, expert teachers, they will explore the wonders of creating their very own books from scratch.

Workshop Activities: Children will learn about different types of books and the tools used in bookbinding.

Choosing Materials: They'll select their favourite materials, including colourful papers, sturdy cardstock, and decorative embellishments, to personalise their book covers.

Binding Techniques: They'll discover how to assemble their book pages and secure them within their beautifully crafted covers.

Decorating: Children will have a blast decorating their book covers with stickers, markers, glitter, and other magical embellishments to make their creations truly unique.

In this workshop, every child is a budding bookbinder, ready to unleash their skills and create something truly special!

Make Books with us!

With over 15 years of experience teaching bookbinding and associated arts, Isabelle offers a comprehensive range of courses and workshops aimed at both beginner and advanced students.

Long and short courses in bookbinding and related book arts are offered from the bindery in an inner-Western Sydney art enclave. We strive to give you the best possible experience, working through every stage of transforming paper, leather and other raw materials into a finished book. All book-binding courses are complete in themselves ­­- and guests complete the course with attractive volumes of their own creation, that make ideal gifts and mementos.

Here at the bindery, we are committed to helping you achieve your bookbinding goals, whether as a hobbyist or professional.

We ensure that our classes are accessible online and in-bindery. Which is why there are courses specially written and designed for each. Whether you want to expand on your crafting skills or start your book collecting journey, we have something for you.
