Craft & Care

Learn or refine hand-stitching skills and discover how to bind covers and pages together in these small group, artist-led workshops at the Blueway Art Studio in Narraghmore, Kildare. You’ll get to experiment with a variety of threads, inks, colours, and textured papers so you can make a personalised notebook that reflects your creativity. You’ll learn about the history and tradition of book-binding in Ireland’s Ancient East along the way too.

My book-binding workshops are ideal if you’re an absolute beginner or you’re looking to develop your book-binding techniques, and they’re also a great place to gain useful book repair skills. The notebook you create will be a beautiful place to store your best ideas and most creative thoughts!

I am also a stockist of handmade Awagami papers so we have a choice of beautiful Japanese papers to include.

“I never knew how prints were made or anything about lithography. I can’t believe they did this in Antarctica. I’m a huge Shackleton fan and this is a completely different insight for me. This is fascinating. Thanks for demonstrating”
