Bookbinding Improvers - July
with Jim MacWilliams
Everyone worked incredibly hard and achieved so much - spine and paper repairs, a beautiful single sheet case binding, and a library style case binding. Here are some photos.

Bright colours and lots of fun! Good to see the newly renovated Albion in use. Also good to see some printed sheets laid out ready for binding into a book (although not on the same weekend!)
5th Annual Book Day
Our 5th Annual Book Day
25th June 2016
What a great day! So much to do and to see, with ongoing demonstrations in the print room, bindery and marbling courtyard as well as the chance to meet some of the top suppliers in the country for bookbinding and paper supplies - J. Hewit & Sons, John Purcell Paper and Ludlow Bookbinders - and lots of exhibitors, including small presses, illustrators, calligraphers, The Society of Bookbinders, Shropshire Scribes and Marches Book Arts. For the full list of those who attended please see the web page

Over 200 people came and enjoyed the event, some made their own beautiful books, and some their own printed bookmarks. We also had a very popular bring and buy stand for tools and equipment.
And of course the conservatory tea room was busy all day.
A big thank you to everyone who helped and participated!
