The course was well organised and although we had to work hard to finish the book in the time, the tutor was so well prepared that we all managed it! The resulting book is my pride and joy and I have already made several more.

This is the second course I've taken on bookbinding, starting as total beginner and I'd recommend it to anyone who wants to try out a new skill. It's entertaining and enjoyable - due to the tutor's skill - and all you need is to be able to follow instructions and be fairly nimble-fingered! My only issue is that I failed to complete my project as we overran a bit and I had to leave promptly - another half an hour and I'd own a finished sketchbook!
