Three terms of part-time day and evening classes in bookbinding for both beginners and more advanced students. Beginners are introduced to the make-up of the book and given a grounding in basic hand bookbinding techniques. Advanced students are encouraged to develop their technical abilities, to work with the full range of materials, including leather and vellum, to try new structures and to develop their design skills and apply them to the book. Tuition is by individual attention. From September 2007 classes will move to a newly built, purpose designed Creative Arts Centre in East Finchley.
