Join us for a relaxed 90-minute Japanese stab stitch bookbinding workshop and learn how to turn paper scraps, prints, or artwork into a beautifully bound notebook.
This beginner-friendly session is perfect for anyone curious about bookbinding or looking for a mindful, creative evening. Japanese stab stitch is a simple and elegant technique that binds loose pages together through the edge – ideal for mixed papers and collage-style books.
You’ll be guided step by step to create your own handmade notebook.
In this workshop, you’ll:
Learn the fundamentals of Japanese stab stitch
Make a small practice book
Create your own larger stitched notebook
Work with your own papers or our curated studio materials
Feel free to bring your own artwork, prints, or paper scraps – or use our selection of card and materials provided.
Evening sessions have a cosy, social atmosphere, with refreshments available from our bar throughout the workshop.
You’ll leave with a finished notebook and the skills to keep making more at home.
What you'll get
A small A6 notebook made by stepping through the process
A finished A5 or 2xA6 notebook made by you from your offcuts
8 sheets of high-quality 130gsm internal paper (+2 for the demo book)
Access to coloured card and collage scraps if you’d like to use ours for your covers
