Our studios are perfectly equipped which allows us to create engaging and interactive courses for you. All our tutors are experienced crafters, designers, and makers in their own fields. So as a City Lit student, you’ll get the benefit of learning from their working knowledge.

Our courses also make use of the City Lit Design and Digital lab creating craft courses with a digital element to explore the possibilities of working with traditional craft. Many of our courses are delivered online, offering more accessibility for learners.

    A stub binding is an excellent way to bind books that cannot be rounded and backed, or which have illustrations that cross the centre fold. Stubs can also be used to bind individual pieces of paper into a book. A stub binding allows the pages of a book to open freely – right back to the centre-fold, and once learned, this technique can be used with many traditional and contemporary binding styles.
