Regions  |  London

 

The London and South region was founded in 1980 and its area covers London, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Essex, Hampshire, Kent, South Oxfordshire, Surrey and the Isle of Wight.

The London & South region runs two seasons of masterclasses that run from September to December and from January to May. In addition to this there are two annual visits to libraries, binderies, museums, tanneries or conservation studios.

All Workshops run from 10.30am - 3.00pm with a half-hour break for lunch at 12.30.

Both masterclasses and visits are £8 for members and £12 for non-members. Materials are an additional charge.

If you wish to attend either a masterclass or visit, please check availability then send a cheque payable to the Society of Bookbinders. Please also enclose your name, address and telephone number, plus your membership number.

Tea and coffee is available throughout the day and there are local cafes and sandwich shops within a few minutes walk.

Non-members are welcome to attend.
