We have partnered with talented bookbinder Amy Kitcherside of The Idle Bindery to bring you a full day of marbling and bookbinding.
As well as getting a complete introduction to marbling, you will then be guided through the process of using your marbled papers to make three books, giving you an introductory look at the traditional craft of bookbinding.
Spend a fun evening playing with paint and getting creative with shapes and patterns, making lots of festive decorations for your Christmas tree!
