Covering both restoration of existing books and the creation of new bindings, this course is equally suitable for beginners and those with previous experience, since tuition is given according to individual needs.
Tutor: Paul Garcia
Paul has been binding books for 16 years, and has been chair of the East Anglian branch of the Society of Bookbinders since 2015. He has taught bookbinding at Colchester Institute and the University of Suffolk, as well as leading a local bookbinding group. His books have been exhibited at The Guildhall Hall in Bury St Edmunds, The Minories in Colchester, and Ickworth House in Horringer. Paul is keen to ensure that the craft of hand binding is passed on to as many people as possible, since the creation of book is the nearest thing to magic that a person can experience.
